    @trainman

    Isn't religion just a theory? Belief must be based on faith, as there is no hard evidence to support the existence of a god.

    No, religion is not a theory. A theory is subject to testing, and only remains a viable theory as long as it continues to pass every experimental test.

    Religion is the acceptance of authority beyond any testing.
