Quite the reverse I think. The newer the religion the more science it must include in its preachings and explanations, thus making it less redundant and incorrect.

No, the only way I would measure validity in a faith is if it is internally consistent, and consistent with what we know about reality. By that criteria, there are "old" religions that don't fit (Christianity, Islam), and "new" religions that don't fit (LDS, Scientology).
