Religion saying "take our teachings on faith" is like a white unmarked van with a sign saying "FREE CANDY (every word on this sign is true)". If you wouldn't get into that van, don't just unquestioningly accept those beliefs without - or against - evidence.
Even worse, there are many religions. So it's like choosing among a series of vans: "FREE PUPPIES." "FREE HUGS." It's a false dilemma. Don't get in any vans.
Stay skeptical. Stay safe.
