> difference between 'religion' and 'the church'

I thought you were going to go the other way on that one... going to church doesn't make you religious. I might even say not all churches have religion. And the analogy still works, 'the academic world' is hardly a subset of 'science'

I don't understand your point. How is 'the academic world' not a subset of 'science'? Is it the same, a superset, or something else?

not all academics is scientific, thought that was an obvious point.
