by fanaticism, I've seen many people in my opinion stupid (excuse the word) praying to saints hopping to solve their problems
by repeating pre-made sentences over and over, but there are others different, I don't think Religion and Science need to be opposites, I believe in God, I'm Catholic and I have many reasons to believe in him, I don't think however that we should pray instead of looking
for the cause and applying a solution, Atheists think they are smart because they focus on Science and technology instead of putting their faith in a God, I don't think God will solve our problems, i think he gave us the means to solve them

In
physics,
for example, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle or principle of indeterminacy has been interpreted in three ways: 1) that the «laws of nature» are deterministic, and that any uncertainty is due to human ignorance, which in due time will be resolved
by science (Einstein), 2) uncertainty can be always explained
by present experimental limitations (Neils Bohr), and 3) indeterminacy is an objective characteristic of reality Werner Heisenberg).

He did not merely copy Democritus»
physics, as was commonly thought, but introduced the idea of spontaneity into the movement of the atoms, and to the Democritus world of inanimate nature ruled
by mechanical laws he added a world of animate nature in which the human will operated.9 Marx thus favours the views of Epicurus
for two reasons: firstly, his emphasis on absolute autonomy of the human spirit has freed human beings from all superstitions of transcendent objects; secondly, the emphasis on «free individual self - consciousness» shows one way of going beyond the system of a «total philosophy».
