Science makes wmd's, bio and chemical weapons, ak47 etc so religionists can harm others.

Both are not evil, per se, but are like double-edged swords. If used for the better, both can save, uplift and dignify life, if not, then the opposite happens.
That is why we need to exercise prudence in our exercise of science, and religion for that matter. Both should not be used with noble and good intentions, and not for other personal purposes.

Wrong. Technology makes wmds, bio an dchemical weapons and automatic rifles. Science is about learning about the world and how it works. When technology uses science to create weapons of war, it is being misused.

Definition for religion. Religion = ritual without relationship
Science is a body of knowledge. Some of it is correct some of it is still in the trial and error stage.
Be specific about religionists. Not all are using weapons to hurt or kill people. Don't dump all into one group.

Science is mostly good, people with power use science to do evil. While religion is a terrible lie, people with religious convictions can do evil by using the bad laws in their books.

Going from your standpoint here, we have science making the weapons and religion encouraging their use. You decide which is worse.

Before I answer the question, you're gonna have to define the word 'evil'.

As the people above said neither is good or bad. Only mankind carries those connotations.

Religion when used for the wrong reasons. i.e. mind manipulation for money like most churches do now-a-days
