They are proven false. People leave religions all the time. Often for another one.

If they were proven false, what's your explanation of why the catholic church still exists and has followers ? (or take your pick at any current religion here on earth)

Cannabis danger have been debinked at the start, and since then, its medical applications have been verified hundred thousand of times (I can give the references), and yet most people and the states continue the same "religion" with the dogma that cannabis is a dangerous drug.

The explanation is that professional liars are good at their job, and for some reason, this is easier on the fundamental matter, than on technical matter. But it is the same human weakness---to find comfort in local lies.

It isn't... QI is not worshipped, it is not a belief per se (you can entertain the idea for an argument or a theory that's all) and QI could in principle be proven false... A religion by being based on faith cannot.

Who can tell me that quantum immortality is not religion.
BTW it is not dogma that I believe in.

Some religions may be, that doesn't mean they all are, however.

How do you relate science to beliefs about the world and reality? Would you say science the collection of those beliefs, or the method for developing the beliefs?

Science is a way to discover the world, nothing is certain, what you believe now may be shown wrong tomorrow... that's not the case with religion...
