as long as you don't harm anyone, you may believe in whatever you want.
I just refuse to turn back the age of enlightenment and return to the dark ages over something that people "believe" in without any proof.

I don't entirely disagree with you. However, "proof" is also highly subjective and a more appropriate word is "evidence". A very religious person see's "proof" of what he wants to believe all around him, just as you see "proof" of what you want to believe all around you. My point is not about anyone being right or wrong, its that these are in fact, personal beliefs and are highly subjective and not objective. Just as your statement about "made up facts" is about your own faith in your beliefs.
