A branch of Religious history deals with dead religions. You also run across the subject in Archaeology, Ancient History, Comparative Religion, and a few other areas.

Science deals with ideas that can be tested. No one can devise a test that people can use to measure the ideas used by ancient religions.

Another Perspective

Science could well be called the record of dead religions for all the "religious" mysteries it has answered. Remember that most religions grew out of humankind's inability to explain the world around it.

No it isn't. History would not be considered a science. Its lack of predictive value would disqualify it from being a science. It is nevertheless a valuable record of happenings, though perhaps only a partial record, for "History is written by the winners", as the phrase goes.


What doesn't relate to science?

Usually tradition, superstition, and fiction don't relate to science, but of course there are exceptions. Science Fiction relates to science, in trying to predict and write about things that are really possible. Some religions embrace science, acknowledging that God and science are compatible.


What are the similarities on how different religions deal with death?

This is an interesting question. Many religions honor their dead with funeral services or rites. I believe that most of these traditions started more as an honor to the God that they served. Similar to an offering of sorts. Honoring the God by giving them the spirit of their dead. Please their God and their loved one will get to enter the afterlife. Some religions, like the Buddhist I believe, use chanting by monks to guide the spirits of the dead through the temptations of a sort of pergatory and into their next reincarnate life. Some religions, mostly of the less civilized tribes and cultures, perform ceremonies to appease the dead in fear that the dead might come back to haunt or curse them. Some religions believed in preserving the dead so that their bodies could be used in the afterlife. I think most religions, be it earthen burial, sky burial or cremation believe that the body is a shell for a spirit which has passed on and should be returned to the earth from which it came.
