You are assuming much, the science supports my view that god is a ridiculous idea not the other way around.
I have never believed in a god and find the idea of some kind of deity rather childish.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Scientific support can only produce probability forecast. There is a tiny chance that there is some kind of Deity(I don't care at this point if IT exists or not).
There is nothing childish in a peaceful religion belief that life should be spend doing good things.

There's also a tiny chance that Darth Vader, Sauron, The Demogorgon, and flying vampiric walruses exist too.

Good point. IF some one is open to the idea of God, or almighty magical being. Then, every other magical being should be taken seriously as well.
Still, God, is the one and only badass among magical invisible beings.

The word there that was not needed was religion.

Actually now I see it written it makes more sense.
I truly wonder what you think religion brings to the table.
