Science is no more anti-religion than, say, a cold chisel is anti-hammer.

Science is a study of the natural world. It doesn't answer philosophical or religious questions. That is not its part to play.

However, saying that, each person will use science according to the base beliefs that person brings with them. It you come in as an atheist, those core beliefs will, generally, colour how you see the world around you. If you come in as a buddhist, this will colour how you see the world about you. if come in as a christian, the same will occur.

Now the results or outcomes discovered can and have changed the underlying base beliefs a person may have started with. So, an atheist may become a christian, a christian may become an atheist, etc, etc, etc.

In my case, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I personally believe that He is not only the creator of all the universe and everything in it, but He is my personal saviour and wants to know me personally.

I was given a good science and engineering education. I had no problems with such ideas as evolution and big bang, etc. Interestingly, it was people like Richard Dawkins and his work in genetics that raised significant questions over the viability of any evolutionary model. As I studied the results obtained from various reported experiments in evolutionary biology, it became obvious that the interpretation of their results and the results themselves were different. So over time, I came to see that evolution as a model of reality was not viable, though very useful for some very good scifi stories.

In turn, looking at other areas, the results seemed to be odds with the theories and models being propagated. This is turn, challenged me to look at the limits of what science could do. I think it is wonderful that we have the ability to systematically study and experiment with the world around. Science is a boon for that. But there are questions it cannot answer. We must look elsewhere for the tools to study those questions.

What has also become obvious over the last few decades, is that Science has become a religion to which it has many adherents. Those who have pushed for this (such as Richard Dawkins et al) have done a great disservice to Science. It is religion neutral. It has no care whether you are atheist, agnostic, moslem, chistian, buddhist, hindu or anything else. It has no care for your political belief, your sexuality, your social status, your ethnicity or anything related to the non-science beliefs you carry.

However, those non-science things will colour how you view the results obtained in your science. It will colour your interpretation and it will colour how you use the results.

Religion and science are not intrinsically incompatible. It is how people used them for or against each other that generates the conflicts.

My God has created an absolutely fascinating universe and His good pleasure is that we can study it to try and understand how it works and in doing so we can get to know Him. Just because we gain some understanding about certain aspects of the world around us, say how planetary motion works, does not mean in any way, that He is no longer in the picture. He is no God of the Gaps as Dr Neil Tyson or Bill Nye would have you believe.

Anyone who falls into the trap of believing that Science will replace or supplant religion has already made Science into religion.

There are no "stupid" questions and there is no problem asking questions about science, religion, philosophy or any other subject.
