God's knowledge is scientific, jñānaṁ me sa-vijñānam. So this religion without scientific knowledge is simply sentiment; it has no value. Generally religion is going on under sentiment, therefore the condition of the human society is so fallen. But the whole science is described there. It must be learned from the qualified professor; otherwise . . . and religion means, it is stated, dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītaṁ (SB 6.3.19).

God's knowledge is scientific, jñānaṁ me sa-vijñānam. So this religion without scientific knowledge is simply sentiment; it has no value. Generally religion is going on under sentiment, therefore the condition of the human society is so fallen. But the whole science is described there. It must be learned from the qualified professor; otherwise . . . and religion means, it is stated, dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītaṁ (SB 6.3.19). Religion is not unscientific, because it is coming from the most perfect, nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). Aparuṣa. "How it is coming?" you can say. Therefore the Supreme Personality comes personally and establishes religion—most scientific. He comes here:

paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ
vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām
dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya
sambhavāmi yuge yuge
(BG 4.8)

So a man cannot give religion. Man-made religion is not religion. But the religion given by God, that is religion. And what is that religion?

sarva-dharmān parityajya
mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja
ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ
(BG 18.66)

Kṛṣṇa says that, "You give up everything, simply surrender unto Me, and I will give you all protection and all knowledge."

teṣām evānukampārtham
aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ
nāśayāmy ātma-bhāva-stho
jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā
(BG 10.11)

So if you . . . our only disease is that we have revolted against God; therefore we are under the clutches of māyā, illusion.

daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī
mama māyā duratyayā
mām eva ye prapadyante
māyām etāṁ taranti te
(BG 7.14)

This is the process. We are placed under the clutches of māyā, therefore we are in illusion; we do not know what to do. But if you put yourself under the protection of the Supreme, then you know everything.
