(On a side note...) Remember guys, it takes at least as much faith to believe in science or any other belief that you may have, so calling someone insane for being religious is not a very intellectual response. In fact, I am sure it would make others, with similar beliefs, upset with you as well.

Believing in science requires no faith. Faith is, by definition, the opposite of reason. Having faith means that you are willing to put reason aside because you want to believe something.

There is no conclusive evidence either way, but omnipotence can be disproven with a quick thought experiment, and you should really default to assuming that something doesn't exist, rather than the reverse - see unicorns, fairies, dragons and so on.

None of this means that religion is bad per se, just that it requires a leap of faith, in stark contrast to agnosticism (of which atheism is really just a subset).
