Introduction
Science and religion hold separate jurisdictions with a disputed border.

Body

1. How the two stand towards each other: Weber's disenchantment gave science authority over explanation and prediction, leaving religion meaning, morality and ritual, and most people use both without discomfort. Barbour's typology of conflict, independence, dialogue and integration is useful because all four exist at once in one society. Secularisation has not emptied religion of authority: Berger, who argued it would, later withdrew the claim.

2. Where the relation shows: Conflict appears at the border — creationism against evolution in curricula, religious authority slowing vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Sabarimala judgment of 2018, where a menstrual taboo met constitutional and medical argument. Accommodation is commoner: devout families use assisted reproduction, and astrology and diagnostics are consulted in the same illness.

3. What the relation amounts to: Coexistence punctuated by jurisdictional disputes. India makes it explicit, holding scientific temper a fundamental duty under Article 51A while religious practice does not decline.

Conclusion
The border is redrawn case by case; neither side has abolished the other.
