This is completely irrelevant. You're only moving the goal posts to cover for your own inadequacy to answer the question.

When you PROVE a non-matter entitiy exists - then we can discuss it = but to date - it is just another piece of nonsense from YOU

This was the original question:
The question is essentially asking "how do you know you're not imagining things?" Your little rabbit trail on testing nonmaterial things has nothing to do with the topic.

However - YOU have not established that such a thing actually exists
The claim of religion is that a god exists - and that is had MANY traits - many of which are CONTRADICTING or IMPOSSIBLE to be true. Example - a god cannot be BOTH almighty and all knowing.
IF it is all knowing - it can ONLY do what it already knows it will do - and it cannot do Something else - so - almighty and all knowing is not possible
The claim of religion is that FREE CHOICE exists in a world with an ALL KNOWING GOD - that is not possible
IF a god is all knowing - then the ONLY outcome can be the ONE THING the god knows and NONE other. The word "Free" would require that we have the ability to choose to do something the god does not know -and that would NOT actually be possible if the god is actually all knowing - so actual choice does not exist - even for the all knowing god.
When YOU can PROVE something that a god exists and is non-matter (Not a claim of the christian religion) - go for it
Until then you have nothing
