Religion is a device to 'find' the truth... meaning that they do not know it. It is a journey through the mercaba of religion...

This is rather vague. You need a definition of "truth" Religion claims to have a monopoly on one truth God. In science in order for something to be true it has to be proved it has to be repeatable and therefore predictable. Religion has no such restrictions so truth there is a matter of faith not proof. In this sense they are totally incompatible from the word go.

No, even a broken watch is right twice a day. Religion might stumble upon truth once in a while but it certainly holds no monopoly on the truth.

Truth is the knowledge of self. Religion is born as a platform providing tools to people to move in this direction.
When religion gets old it forget about serving people and work in the direction of keeping up its brand & name.

No, they are not inherently mutually exclusive.
Something isn't untrue merely because it comes from religion.
Neither are they an identity.
A religion may assert a false truth.
It plots very nicely on a Venn diagram.
How much of an overlap there is, is itself up for debate.
