John, no we can't prove that. In fact you could burn every holy book ever made and every written account of any God and it wouldn't make a bit of difference to God, or me for that matter. I think it's a usefull tool in the history of understanding more about God. True understanding comes from experience though, regardless of the subject. In the case of religion; without it at least people would have no one to blame but each other. As far as not knowing about a God without religion .. the Bible covers that too...
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
