Every religion is built on deception of the people. Science does not confirm any religious tenet. I think generally it is foolish to look for any scientific proof of religion. Religious people are just stupid and believe in fairy tales.
Religion can not deceive, because it is the worldview of every person. Everyone believes in what he wants, but he can make mistakes in his choice. They are already being manipulated and deceived by people in more powerful ways, because many do not believe in religion.
