It is imperative that everyone remains neutral in their religious studies, especially if one is studying under the tutelage of a 'religious person'.Now here is the problem, very few can remain neutral under the influence of religious ideology/doctrine. This is so because, as i believe, there is a spiritual core within man which propels him/her to seek something more, something 'spiritual', and sadly there are countless 'counterfeits' who have no qualms about exploiting the spiritual-vulnerabilities of humankind. Thus, in studying any religion and/or religious matter-please, proceed with caution. Not that studying religions and spiritual elements are negative per se,however, mankind has long been experimental mice in the matters of religions and their silly shepherds. My advice, approach all religious concerns with shrewd caution, and instead accumulate concepts and reject the rituals...the organized religions of the world are monetary agencies not genuine centers for spiritual rejuvenation, and the proof is in the pudding(actual practice or lack thereof), and one final note: any religion and/or religious ideology/doctrine that is founded upon racial lines or ethnic exclusivity is not a religion at all, and all those who assert any religious authenticity upon race is so off track it is ridiculous. You, yourself are the temple, the church , the mosque-You,whoever you are-YOU ARE THE CHURCH!

What science is a systematic study of God's creation?

Science does not study religion. As Stephen J. Gould says, science and religion operate, or ought to operate, in quite distinct magisteria. Science is the systematic study of the natural world, while theology is the systematic study of religion. Of course, if we regard theology as a science, then theology is the systematic study of religion and therefore of God's creation.
