I feel it is safe to assume all "sky gods" are false...look how many have been forgotten with no trace: Baal, Zues, Ashtarothe, Amun, and on & on & on.........

Of the presumably thousands of religions around the world. They all claim to be all about love and understanding but they all are totally convinced that their religion is the one and only true religion. Most feel that all the other religions are bogus and will not lead one to enlightenment but rather to some to form of hell. All those religions are literally competing against one another like a pack of hungry wolves after a single piece of meat The fact that every religion rejects everything about every other religion alone, for me, is one of the most compelling reasons that they are ALL full of shit and just doing a sales job on people.

A simpler and more reasonable explanation is that all gods and religions were created by the ignorance and insecurities of humans, ergo they are all bullshit.

It is the responsibility of the person making the existence claim to provide falsifiable evidence to support that claim.

The burden of proof rests with the claimants, and no nobody else.

Job done!

Many false stories... Disprove one, you disprove all.. Don't get lost in the sauce..

It occurred to me many years ago that if any god existed, and said god cared about being believed in, it would be a simple matter to appear in the sky in an unmistakable way and remind the world once a month or so that he/she/it was still around. Something like, "Just checking in, sorry about the COVID-19, but that's evolution for you, I'm afraid. It's okay, though, all those who've died have already been reunited with their loved ones in Nirvana!"

Or words to that effect.

But, mysteriously, that doesn't happen, leaving me to conclude either A) gods exist but don't communicate, B) gods exist but communicate only with illiterates and televangelists, and in either case makes sure nobody else can verify this contact, or C) gods just plain don't exist and all these people are talking only to themselves. Schizophrenia, after all, is a much better documented phenomenon than heavenly communication.

There are a group of people that spend their time chasing these pipe dreams, they are called priests, clergy, imams, lamas, gurus, rabbis, etc. etc. Yes, a whole professional class that spend their lives in a wasted effort to prove that their imaginary friend exists and that all the others are mere pipe dreams. 5,000 or so Religions on the planet and they all share the same belief, that all the others are false gods but their god is real. Atheists realize that all gods are false, just like religious people but plus one more.

I suspect that the very devout does not even want evidence because of such passages: "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29, KJV. Religion has many fall backs.

I found it extremely refrustrating to relate dissatisfying experiences (my own or of others) with a form of Christianity only to be be told that the form of Christianity was not the right one and I needed to conform to their version to receive the proper inspiration/blessings from God. It is particularly frustrating because all these versions say essentially the same thing - they have the correct belief to conform to in order to receive the full blessings of the Christian God and total dedication to their version allows you revelations from God about yourself and potentially about others. It is a way to blame personal dissatisfaction with certain concepts of a religion on someone who is not happy with the belief and to absolve the belief system of any responsibility for its failings.

@AHWalter There have been indeed throughout human history an astounding number of religions, religious beliefs and practices without organised religions, religious sects, creeds of all types. A large number of these still exists in all parts of the world. But most of them have not been and still are not interest to convert masses of people or even individuals.Very few religions are today involved in proselytizing others. Christianity in its multiple denominations and Islam still campaign aggressively to recruit new members or bring back to god the many who keep going astray. Hinduism, though it can get quite fanatical, does not bother much to proselytize. Except through procreation, Judaism seems quite reluctant to increase. the numbers of those who have been specially chosen by the god of Abraham . Judaism is not really bothered to convert non-Jewish people. The “ goyims” are simply abandoned to their fate. Judaism does not feel responsible for their salvation.

In USA various Christiani stars preachers make it a lucrative business to present “evidence” on an industrial scale of the glory of Jesus and his omnipotence to millions of people on tv channels and elsewhere. They provide “ proof” every week that cancer and any known or unknowingly disease has been cured by faith. We cannot blame them for not trying to convince and convert the damned. They certainly have us in mind. They do give us a choice: join Jesus or go to hell.

Yet, in most parts of the world, agnostics and atheists are increasing in numbers. And we hardly proselytize.

As is ever so very much the usual practice when asked for evidence regarding the factuality of any and all religions the answer is always, " It is written in a book, it is the words of God/Gods, what more evidence could you need."
Ergo, as in legal cases,, ANY claim that has zero, tangible, tried, tested and proven evidence is nothing more than an Assumptive assertion.

I personally doubt sincerely any possible REAL god DOES anything at all.
IT just is.

A quark (/kwɔːrk, kwɑːrk/) is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei.[1] Due to a phenomenon known as color confinement, quarks are never directly observed or found in isolation; they can be found only within hadrons, which include baryons (such as protons and neutrons) and mesons.[2][3] For this reason, much of what is known about quarks has been drawn from observations of hadrons.
Do you believe in science? Prove quarks exist. Anyone?

It would be like chasing every rainbow to find a pot of gold.

Have I seen every rainbow in the world? No. Would it even be possible to see every rainbow? No.

But I know enough about how light and water work to make a rainbow, and I know - more or less - where gold comes from. I don't bother chasing rainbows.

You are quite right to put your energies elsewhere.

In the context of the number of ‘religions’ very few care what you believe or don’t believe. Animists don’t, Sikhs don’t, Judaism doesn’t

You are confusing religions with number of practitioners.

Ofcource! They've got you so messed up in their clouds, so bad that you started giving them special treatments! I can show a religious person enough Physical scientific evidence regarding evolution and humans. Can he show us 1 proof of his nonsense?

Actually, if any religion was valid and their gods did in fact preform miricules, answer prayers, or make appearances to people we would ALL know about it. As it is no "real" god has any more validity than a false god. As there is no god that actually does anything.

Pretty much. If there was a religion that could be shown to be true don’t you think everyone would know about it?

Almost all claim a supreme being with no logical proof, And seem to suppress someone to maintain power which their leaders crave along with money

It isn't necessary for anyone to go to such lengths in order to be a non-believer. Just think of how time-consuming and possibly expensive it would be! We all have a right to form our own opinions, based on what we consider a reasonable amount of information, regarding the existence or non-existence of God.

you will not run out of towns before I come

Instead of making claims and expecting people to believe those claims, the better class of religion simply points to the great unknown and fosters reverence, awe, and appreciation.

I have a copy of Sir James G. Frazer's 'The Golden Bough' on my Kindle. Just reading his survey of beliefs has been a major task and as you say 'none of them have evidence '.
Lol I guess.
