This is largely true, except in that science is the attempt to study the reasons behind those beliefs and tear them down into the smallest bits possible, while religion (or at least western religion, ie christianity) considers the beliefs truly fundamental and does not seek to discover the reasons for those beliefs, only the corollaries as a result of said beliefs. Not necessarily. Modern science evolved from changes in attitude toward religion. There was a movement away from blind faith toward a more rationale and philosophical explanation of faith. It's the trend back to blind faith (especially strong here in America) that is disturbing. I blame the inevitable degradation of protestantism.
