This is one of these idiotic "would you rather" questions that really accomplishes nothing, even though the answer is extremely obvious. A world without religion would be much better than a world without science. In the end, it depends on how you define science. Science is everything related to observations and experimentation on the physical and natural world. Where would we be without science? It's possible to say that without science, we'd still be pounding rocks together and hunting/gathering. Science involved observing surroundings to eventually begin farming and harvesting. That led to civilization, which in turn led to private property and more entropy.
With religion comes differences, and in turn, hatred and fear. This is what has led to abominations such as the Crusades, Inquisition, etc. Religion is one of the main causes of fear within humans, which is why I am strongly against it.
In the end, we'd all have been better off without both religion and science, although I'd much rather have science. Without the two of these things, we would be like all of the other organisms on this earth. Humans are the embodiment of chaos, which will lead to our imminent demise. If we never had science, we wouldn't have civilization, which marked the beginning of entropy on earth. If we didn't have religion, there would be one less difference within people, which is one of the main causes of entropy.
As of now, it is unavoidable. We have both religion and science, so why ask the question? We are all going to die, and eventually the Sun will become a black hole and envelop the Earth. All of the stars will become black holes sooner or later, and we will be stuck with that dense cluster of mass that led to the first Big Bang. But how do we know it was the first Big Bang? It could have been the second or third, or trillionth. It's the cycle of entropy that we humans embody because of things like religion and difference and hatred and civilization.
