I think science is not "smart" when applied as the basis for a moral framework. Religion is more smart as an answer to big questions of life.
Fundamentally the difference is that religion is rooted in philosophy while science is rooted in empirical reasoning.
Using science to answer philosophical questions is like trying to drive a nail with a screwdriver, and then thinking you're a genius because you found a way to consolidate two tools into one.
