I like to say we are having nice talk(THEVOID).
Ok so I think that it is reasonable to believe in religion because I know its impossible to dis/prove the gods. I can believe my self to believe that there is no afterlife. The reason I believe in my gods(or theogony as you put it) is because:
1.The creation story makes sense.
2.Polythiesism makes more sense than Monothiesm.
3.That I have a belief that I can feel the gods. But not in a personal sense.
4.Moral standards are geneuine(i.e. doesn't promote slavery)
5.No dogma.
"A religion could have permissible moral standards and still be false because the God does not exist - this simply means that the individuals who constructed the religion had good morals." Yeah but then if you are wrong atleast you believed in something that had good morals and was possible.
"There is no reason to believe religious claims, especially those pertaining to the existence of God. " Yes there is, because you can't disprove it either.
"You mean that we need to judge the veracity of each religious separately? I disagree, any theistic religions (that posit God) can be rejected due to a lack of reason for their existence, be it evidential or through logical necessity." I think so because every religion has differant applications and may have a good arguement. But if they didn't have any logic then well....
