While some scientists claim to be agnostic or atheist they have turned to science and technology to answer the mysteries of the universe and effectively adopted science as a religion. They tried that once, during the Middle Ages, it was called Alchemy.

Science is still the one and only legitimate way to investigate the mysteries of the universe. But it had little sway in comparison to religion during the period from the ancient Greek philosophers of science (e.g. Epicurus, Democritus, not Plato) until the Enlightenment. Whether you want to call alchemy a scientific pursuit or not, in the end it was science, not religion, that proved alchemy was a wild goose chase. The neat thing about science is that it's iteratively self-correcting. That, among other things, distinguishes science from religion.

That came out wrong. I meant to refer to the period running from after the ancient Greek philosophers up until the Enlightenment.
