There are many things we believe, quite rationally, that we cannot prove. Take basic moral claims, for example, such as “It’s wrong to inflict pain on people for no reason.” This seems rational and sensible, but I doubt I could prove it without assuming some more basic moral claim on which it is based.
I was referring to OP's comment about the big bang theory. Scientific theories attempt to explain the world around us. Usually they don't require supernatural forces.
NP
What is the causes of the Big Bang ?
A) Creator
B) It just happened
Both are based on faith.
Damn, you know how weak this argument is right? Those are NOT the only two choices.
And no, it’s not a religion, just like bald isn’t a hair color, not collecting stamps is not a hobby, and off is not a channel on your TV.

B isn’t faith. You seem confused about the difference between faith and scientific uncertainty.

Which part of the Constitution says this? I couldn't find a reference.
The same part that says abortion is a fundamental right.

Sounds like you are confusing science with atheism.

One of the definition of religion on Merriam-Webster
A cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.
I think a lot of atheists use faith to describe what caused the Big Bang by saying something came from nothing.
To believe in this something came from nothing you have to belong in the religion of Atheism.
