Religions may be codified and structured, but they can't even agree on the same structure or even basic principles like whether there is a single God. Some people are agnostics.

How coherent or useful do you think a scientific theory would be based on the premise that we can't really be sure matter or energy even exist?

All religion agrees on a basic principle: There is a power higher than man. Well, almost all religion. The church of Satan believes differently. But that's not the consensus. But then again you're lumping all religion into one category. It's the same as if I lumped all scientific disciplines into one category. Do biologists seriously consider the input of astrophysicists when setting up experiments or publishing data? No, they're peer reviewed by peers, those in the same discipline.
