Should I thank God more for religion or science?

Super strange question, but I do appreciate a challenge.

First, there is Religion, and there is Faith. They are distinct. Religion is a set of beliefs, traditions, and rules that a group chooses to adhere to, where the beliefs are often (but not always) based on an unprovable premise. This is critical, because if the premises could be proven, then you would have belief, but not Faith. Faith is belief without proof. It is a leap. A choice to believe in something DESPITE there being no proof. That's why it is so powerful. And I am indeed thankful for it.

Religion is merely a means of focusing a person's Faith, and as we've seen, that foci has been hijacked throughout history to commit atrocities. The current followers of those religions most guilty of historic atrocities seem to believe that it was PEOPLE, and not the Religion, that caused them, but not all Religions have committed them, and the ones that have, have done so repeatedly. This argues that there is something about those particular Religions that are at fault, that make it easier for people to hijack them towards those atrocities.

Science, on the other hand, is not itself a belief. It is a self-correcting process to discover the truths of the physical world. One does not 'believe in science'. That makes no sense. But one can believe that the scientific method is the most efficient and accurate tool for doing so, and flipped around, that Religion is the worst tool to do so.

But one would NOT use science to define morality. Or ethics. Or goodness. Or evilness. Or the soul. Those are purely the purview of Religion. In that sense, Religion has value, and I am grateful to it.
