I come from a scientific background and I see very little evidence for God. So little, in fact, that I think there must be a scientific reason for why so many people do believe.
However, I also know that science is particularly good at pointing out when it is wrong (something I love it for). Even the building blocks of science are consistently proved to be wrong. Newtonian mechanics looked immutable until Einstein came along.
If you have a scientific proof that God cannot exist (and I mean a rigorous proof), then I would love to hear it because I've yet to see one.
As for society, I'll repeat myself again. It isn't infrastructure. Society is the relationships between people. It isn't "built". If the majority of the members of a society are religious, it is fair to say they have greater responsibility for a society existing than the minority do. If you want to crouch it in your terms, they built society to a greater extent simply because they are a majority. It is easier for a minority to start again elsewhere than to expel or change a majority.
You just said so yourself that there is little evidence for god. Any reasonable scientist knows that if there isn't any evidence then it does not exist!
Religious people can't be responsible for society if it were not for the scientific contributions of atheists then they probably wouldn't be alive! Their IQ scores is all of the scientific proof that you need as to why they believe in a God.
Little evidence is different than no evidence. Secondly, you need evidence for a proof, not a lack of evidence. Thirdly, there was no tangible evidence for the Higgs-Boson particle but scientists didn't say, "Oh well, that must mean it doesn't exist".
Finally, religion and science are not diametrically opposed nor are they unable to co-exist.
Is it normal to think that religion should separate from society?

There is nothing scientific about God, and no religion cannot co-exist with science because it's followers are all brainwashed sheep.
Why should people who oppose science and who hate anyone that says anything different be entrusted with society? It makes no sense.
Surely you can appreciate abolishing the ignorance and prejudice within our society and religion is directly resposible fo
