I think modern science has disregarded the scientific method as not required anymore to make claims about what we “know”.

Yeah, that's one of the pretty big problems I see happening in the current scenario.
People becoming way more hand-wavy about having been proven wrong, which sometimes seems (we can't know whether it actually is) outright disingenuous.

The religion related scenario I painted was probably possible due to how long it lasted. Maybe we will have to wait for this one to last long enough to know whether what it yields is as undesirable or more.
For now, at least I don't see it going in the same direction as the religion power, simply because it's not the science people that are holding power, but other politics oriented ones. So if it were to go in an undesirable direction in the far future, it would have to be in some other direction.
