No one can objectively prove that God DOESN'T exist, either, so saying every religion is a lie based on that logic fails.

According to Mirriam Webster, to lie is:

1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
2 : to create a false or misleading impression

So, if a person believe his religion is true, he is not lying. He may be mistaken, but he isn't lying.

I do not believe in organized religion, as a rule. I believe that what Jesus taught, according to the Bible, are good rules to live by. I believe in God, although how I feel about him is closer to a deist philosophy.
