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.

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.

Bad anlaogy. There's a lot more agreement among different scientific disciplines than simple that matter and energy exist. Biology and astrophysics may not overlap, but anything they publish that overlaps into other fields like chemistry or physics is subjet to review by those disciplines.
