When people "just believe" the physicists, it's shortcut. If you dig beneath all the turtles, there are facts there. Yes, there is great possibility and space for manipulation and distortion, but it is rooted in the reality, which percolates through all the layers of human interpretation.

Religion lack that root, there is nothing but human culture in it, which is then mistaken for objective truth about environment.

Science is part of culture. And what is “human culture” anyway? You seem to think it’s some fiction we all believe. This isn’t culture. Something like that would be worthless. Culture, which is related to “cult” and “cultivation”, is supposed to help you become more fully and better you and part of that is a better grasp of the truth.
