There is zero empirical evidence to justify the assertion that any kind of God actually exists.
After thousands of years, no religion has been able to meet the burden of proof of their religious claims. None at all.

Just responding to this because it is the simplest, most straightforward way to disprove religion. Maybe not God (As we cannot disprove God any more than we can PROVE God's existence), but definitely puts a stake in Religion and its representations of god. 

This does not disprove anything at all. It's one thing to meet and disregard religious claims, it's something else to actually bring your own proof to the table. What people don't understand about proof of burden is that 1. It works both in a positive as in a negative sense & 2. Unless you're a sceptic, empirical proof isn't the only form of proof, for if that was the case, our own science wouldn't even be able to operate correctly.
