Science as an instrument

I am an atheist, and I agree that science, for the most part refutes religion and the concept of God. But having observed the activities of atheist activists such as Richard Dawkins, I begin to wonder if science should not be used as an instrument to practically refute religion. Although science is right on most occasions, this type of debating generates a bad attitude towards science which I find unhealthy. One such example can be observed in documentaries made by the evangelicals who teach their children that science is rubbish. It would perhaps be easier for the common man to understand the world of rationality and logic as compared to that of science. Perhaps the consensus should not be that religion is stupid because science says so, rather that religion is stupid because it is religion.
