There is exactly zero evidence that any religion isn’t true.

How could there be?

Evolution can’t disprove the existence of God.

All depends which god we are disproving the existence of?

The primary evidence that religions aren’t “true” are the religious texts themselves: filled with easily disproved falsehoods and a primitive understanding of the world. Evolution is not compatible with creation myths. The biblical Exodus never happened. Jesus was barely noticed historically, i.e. extra-biblically.

The issue is not “disproving the existence of God”, any more than we have to disprove the existence of Frodo Baggins. (Which gods, btw?)

The question should be, why should we take these obvious myths as anything more than that? The answer is that there’s no reason to.
