Science is not atheistic, as it is not a sentient creature. Though it is true that many who are devoted to science are atheistic, it is not a law that one must choose between science and religion. If the study of science is accompanied by the study of sastra, for example, then what this means is that the individual is simply gaining an insight into the laws of God's material potency.
I think that science has had good and bad contributions. Because of scientific advancement, we are less ignorant about some aspects of life that has helped us to better our attitudes, behaviour and experience of life. But it also has had negative influences. This is the nature of the material universe. All things come with good and bad.
