You see religion bogs itself down by a belief that it is exempt from evolving. It forces itself onto people as a challenge to accept that which is contrary to science, logic and reason. This was never the intention of religion. It could not be possible for G.d to declare a set of moral codes 2000 years ago and then expect these codes to somehow be useful in the world of 2021. It's a nonsense.

Religion is a relative truth. It feeds humanity what it can bear in a time and a place. Science, as you say, is a process constantly refining itself, detailing evidence to higher degrees and greater fidelity.

There is love and there is love. One is akin to madness, the other is madness. Your friend has capitulated. There are many who just want to put themselves in the hands of others and be told what to do and what to believe. There are many who join the military, or politics for the same reason.

Truth is a relative state at a moment in the progression of time. There will always be a better, clearer, fuller religious truth and there will always be more refined truths in science.

Your friend may not wish to take responsibility for him, or herself any longer. There may even be a pathology associated with this new event in life. I have found that many fundamental religion followers have a pathology, a psychological wound that the white noise of religion can suppress. Be patient.

In other words we'll have 'science' and 'philosophy' rather than 'religion?'
