    Please tell me, scientifically, why you are so sure that people of faith are wrong?

    Because they all offer competing and mutually exclusive hypotheses.

    Christianity tells us that the one true path to salvation is by accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour.

    Hinduism tells us that our next life will take place in this world, based on our actions in this life.

    Islam tells us that Mohammed is the one true prophet.

    Buddhism says that there are no prophets, enlightenment only comes from within.

    They make contradictory claims, so by definition they can’t all be right, and they typically claim that they are correct and the other explanations are false, so even if one religion is correct, the rest (comprising of the majority of the faithful) must be wrong.
