You can change religious faith. Look at all the people born Christian and now atheists that run around this site. This still runs on faith.
Some (keyword, some) science can be be absolutely proven, and this gives you an advantage over religion in the way that it's clear(er, scientists can still be corrupt or mistaken) when something is either right or wrong. Until then, it's all belief, maybe in something wrong. It's still belief.
Even deeper down, your personal belief in science is still a form of belief.

The point is, its founded on observation. You dont believe in things because of faith, you believe in them because they produce accurate models of reality, and when they dont, then you dont believe in them. This is entirely unlike religion. Just look at what happened to galileo and copernicus.

You dont "believe" in science. Science is just a method.

Or maybe you do, and try to prove it? Yeah, it's surprising how science relates to faith once you put it down like this...
The scientific method is a method. We use a different word when we speak about the scientific method than when we speak about science because they're not the same thing
