Every day, we state facts briefly. You might say "That man is a criminal." You don't cite the cases and details.

Anecdotes are not facts... you are still wrong, just stop with your nonsense

Not an anecdote. Saying "That man is a criminal" is stating a fact.
It's true, another party might say "I don't believe it. Prove it." Then it's incumbent upon the first to state the underlying details.
Just go attend a chemistry class. Nothing but exposition of facts without underlying support. All of science is this way.
However, the underlying facts exist.
Religion is in fact based on belief, not fact in any sense. It's silly and ignorant to argue otherwise.
