Have we crossed the point where religion has become less like faith, more like a rejection of science?

In times past, religion used to be a rejection of nothing except beliefs different to ones own beliefs. But as our knowledge and understanding of the universe has grown, religion has steadily become more and more focused on rejecting specific scientific discoveries. Fundamentalists have started popping up where before there were none and the genesis of their existence coincides with advances in science. Creationists have crossed a point and their doctrine is centered on rejecting the Theory of Evolution. Will the rest of religion soon follow suit and be focused on rejecting the truth?
