No it isn't. And even if it were: what on earth do you mean by that? On what level are we talking here? A religious person denies the boiling point of water?
There is a very long paragraph after that sentence and if you would have bothered to read more then just what you need to bash me, you would have known exactly what I meant by that. But, just for you:

What I mean by that is that religion, as a system, is not based on science. There are no scientific facts in the bible that support the existence of god, there is no chapter explaining the physics of a prayer going to heaven and there is no page detailing exactly how many degrees Fahrenheit it is in Hell. The bible is a book full of nice stories on things that may or may not have happened but for which is absolutely no evidence whatsoever.
The foundation of religion is that it's a belief, not a world wide fact. These people BELIEVE that the bible is a true story. Just like kids BELIEVE Santa is real. If the bible would have any scientific facts, it wouldn't be religion anymore. Hence, religion is by definition the absence of science. But if you want to, go look up the term religion and the term science in the dictionary and see what it says for them. Then try to see if you can take the description for science and put it under religion, see if it still makes sense.
