I'm happy to say that I don't know what the answer is. But what does seems obvious is that the claims of organized religion are almost certainly not true.
I mean cmoon...you can clearly see from looking at recent religions like Mormonism and Scientology how a religion develops. I noticed that none of you are defended Scientology, but ancient religions are no different, just older and more successful. It's also easy to understand the psychology that would make people want to believe that everything revolves around them, and that life has meaning specifically for humans.
But this is such a short-sighted, self-serving view, similar to thinking the Earth is the center of the universe. If monkeys had religion they would probably worship a monkey god, but that wouldn't mean it was a credible theory that needed to be disproved.
There's no need to 100% conclusively disprove the existence of a human-like god because there's no good reason to believe it in the first place.
