You'r in the grey here. Many scientific theories over the years have turned out to be wrong (the different kinds of bile, bad blood needing to be leached or drained, and many more). Many men of science believed them to be true because it's what was taught and accepted.
A lot of religious people see evidence of god in the way the world is constructed. Many more are simply taught that way and believe it.
I'm not saying there aren't differences, but it's hard to define them crisply. Certainly no one has in the above posts.
