Religion teaches you to try be able to stand up for what you believe in, even if other people don't agree with you, and that's important in science,.. That's happened on many number of occasions when that was a new idea in science and many people object to it and think it's crazy, especially if you're entering a new field. You have to think hard about 'Well, can you be right and if you're right be willing to differ with other people.'
