I think that's a good point - there are certainly topics like global warming research that have demonstrated that scientists are sometimes willing to be less than completely honest.
A basic difference however, is that science is fundamentally open to revision as our understanding changes and religion doesn't have those built-in mechanisms to question their basic assumptions.
