I think you're confusing "reasonable expectations based on experience and evidence" with "absolute conviction regardless of evidence".

I have trust in science, because scientists show their work for all who wish to see, and their work has real world application (otherwise we wouldn't have medicine, Internet, space travel, etc.).

Religious leaders, however, practically demand that you gullibly take their word at face value, and when their claims are investigated, it turns out they have nothing to show for it.
