Why is religion inscrutible, yet science must always prove itself to the world?

It is perfectly acceptable in society to say "I believe in God" and no one thinks twice about it. But to say "I DON'T believe in god" requires evidence as to how you came to this theory. WHY?! What gives the religious the right to be so un-evidential???

If I said black holes exist but we can't see them, then I'd be asked to provide evidence of their existence. So science steps in & we can prove the existence of a thing that has no right to exist, because a black hole absorbs light & remains invisible to the human eye, ironically making it visible in the void of space. But simply by saying a "being" or "deity" exists (regardless that it has never given any scientific logic or evidence as to it's existence) then it's literally taken as gospel. Can somebody please explain how that logic works???

It would help if only the religious could answer this for me, thanks. =)

    well my friend that is a QU. that you have to find your own answer to and not listen to all the people that say they have proof of either or religion and science. every one in the world has there own beliefs and who is to say who is right or wrong? can science prove that god doesn't exist? can religion PROVE that there is a almighty life form that has created everything that ever was? no one in this world can give a posit ave answer to who is right or wrong. maybe on some other world but you have to decide for yourself the path that u will follow and be a good person and maybe u will one day be able to find the answers to all questions. what i believe is do everything u can while u r hear and hope there is some amazing afterlife that will be waiting for us on the other side that will have all the things we love and none of the bad. hope for the things u want and prepare for the worst! the world we live in is a bad place and i hope or PRAY that when the time dos come that religion and science can come together and provide a solution for all to be happy and live in peace like we should! so to finalize my answer religion and beliefs in some god have been around since the beginning of mankind and it has become acceptable for anyone to believe what they want proof or not because that is how this world has come to be yet science can prove something and people not believe because they are simple minded or just don't want to face the facts! so what is correct? you just have to decide for yourself!!!

    Because religion is obsolete. It was created a long time ago when the scientists of the time couldn't explain lightning... someone used their imagination to explain everything. People actually believed it. its like giving a dog a toy they like and trying to take it away.

    You just gotta have faith, boy. Ah see the light!!

    One is science and the other fantasy legend proved to followers by the length of time it's been around. Doesn't make it any more true though.

    There's a reason why Atheists cite logic as a reason for not believing in God. Logic (to a scientific degree) has nothing to do with any kind of Theism.

    logic is absorbed by the black hole of religion, as knowledge, science,education, understanding have evolved with a maturing human race, religion tries hanging in there anyway it can denying any logic thrown its way. Do you believe in super heroes with super natrual powers ? now times that by 10,000 ???????????????
