The larger context of that quote is from his response to E.O. Wilson's claim that there needs to be "consilience" between the hard sciences and art/philosophy/religion.
Berry responds by saying that science often drifts into functioning as religion (making faith/destiny claims) and when it does, it weakens itself.
