Belief in the face of evidence against your belief makes them very comparable. Also, note I was very specific to note current religions. There may be a creator, but it is evident that all the "Gods" we consider are merely creations of men, and their writings the work of men. I will be polite, but, rather like Richard Dawkins I will not be overly polite in being clear that if you believe in God as defined by Christianity, or Judaism - or indeed any reliigion we know - you are wrong.
They are just one of many religions invented by our own imagination and desires and will almost certainly become dead religions over time just like the Greek Gods of yesteryear.
I understand people want belief - selling the idea you're going to wake up in a nice garden after you die vs saying we have no idea but probably your concious self is simply going to end is a lot easier after all - but I refuse to play any games vs the evidence nor see an imagined "God" as somehow requiring me to tiptoe around some people.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
