I'm not religious, but I also don't go around bashing people who are.

Criticizing religion is "There's no substantial proof in god or the spiritual.  Until you can prove it, I can't take your claims as anything more than empty claims."

That's the most pathetic argument ever invented.

It has the exact same counter argument.  "Prove that God doesn't exist"

Prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist.

Or Leprechauns, or Buddha, or fairies, or life on distant planets, or that there aren't infinite universes, etc, etc, etc. 

The Buddha existed. For goodness sake.
