Religious beliefs get away with it because they deal with unknown realms from which no information can be gathered, if they exist at all. So they are never held to account by everyday experience.
If instead religion started preaching that gravity didn't exist, that particular doctrine would be instantly dismissed by virtually everyone. When religion dares to step outside the circle of unfalsifiability, it has a history of getting a nasty rap on the knuckles before retreating. That's a good indication that it has no overlap with the reality we are able to experience.
