    Religion is just believing without evidence.

    There are plenty of things that require belief without evidence that aren’t religion (conspiracy theories, pseudoscience). There are also religions that rely on science for answers, and so they do require evidence.

        Yeah I’m totally flummoxed because I’m atheist so obviously I believe in the healing power of crystals. I don’t know what the scientific religion been alluded to is, but I’m assuming it’s Scientology, the fact that they think that shows you everything you need to know about them.

      That’s not the stellar arguement you think it is. Believing in aliens is also nonsense.
