In one of the books in the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov, science essentially becomes a religion. Technology advances to such a degree that life is as perfect as possible for humans, and the machines that sustain that life are so near perfect that they cease to fail. Science stops progressing and over many thousands of years humans no longer understand how those machines work. They simply have faith in the science and technology, with no evidence or understanding of how it is possible. They just accept things as they are and believe there is a reason for everything.
