I would like to put forward the dictionary meanings of those 3 words for clarification, because in the past there were persons claiming spituality is not science (but i want to show it is a science in its own right) and that Spirituality is different than religion.
SCIENCE: 1. the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance:
2. a department of systemized knowledge as an object of study.
3.knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the
operation of general laws obtained and tested by scientific method.
RELIGION. 1.the service and worship of God or the supernatural.
2. commitment or devotion to religious faith or observances.
3. a personal set or institutionalized, system of religious beliefs and
practices
SPIRITUALITY. 1. the condition and quality of being spiritual / non material
2. removing illusions or false ideas at the sensory, feeling and
thinking aspects of a person.
3 concerning the spirit/soul/sense of deep self.
Some bodies of knowledge accepted as science:

Food science
Political science
Computer science
Forestry and conservation science
Enviromental science
Social science

Theres so many departments of knowledge, and Spirituality has its body of knowledge in the (Vedanta teachings)
Christianity has its body of knowledge in the Bible.
And theres many bodies of knowledge in the clinical sciences.
