Likewise, whatever proof or evidence is given for God's existence, unless we are able to bring 'Him' into the ken of our 5 senses, particularly the sense of sight, that is, unless we are able to point out and say, "Look, there's God", we will never be able to prove the existence of God to all and sundry. Some say, like the microscope invented to extend our sense of sight, we have it within us to extend the capacity of our physical senses through 'yogic' practices and we shall then clearly 'see' God. Till then we have to make do with the testimony of those who have had the benefit of yogic discipline or the scientist who had peered through the microscope.About religion, it is not necessary that it posits God. Buddhism, for example, does not require a God to function.
Not to forget nimrod's like me who are patiently telling people to go beyond "god" and their relatively meaningless preconceptions about what "reality" is.
