No I don't think anyone can do that, BUT, proof can be shown that even those with limited beliefs say, "Oh my God." Does that prove my religion, of course not. Can I prove that there is a heaven, of course not. But can I prove that most people believe there is a God, that I can do. Oh my God, I'm glad I got that out.

Religion is an institution based on faiths and beliefs and emanated from well meaning persons with phenomenal (read divine) wisdom, love and supranormal powers (call them Prophets or Godmen) at various times in various parts of the Planet, with the intention to refine the humans and lessen their evil propensities...
No religion says God is vengeful, He is always love and mercy full.. But when some of their messages intended for the society where they preached appeared to be against the ruling beliefs Conflicts erupted and divided people...
For purpose of clarity, an example of Hinduism (that encompasses a host of divergent beliefs and practices) can be cited.. When the Path of Duties (that includes certain Rituals as well) overwhelmed at a time at the cost of Devotion (to God and the Godly), an array of wise persons propagated the latter at the cost of the former though the latter is also told in the sacred texts professed by the wise men... Because the balance was so much tilted in favour of an easy and egoistic path, the wise boldly played it down...
Even so, whatever Moses and Abraham told was redefined by Lord Jesus in the renewed contexts that existed at His time of advent... An eye for an eye was the rule till He preached the path of supreme Love where you will have to show the other cheek to a villian taking pleasure in hurting you... It is intended to not just refine the good - in which case his simple unretaliating patience would suffice - but intended to refine the evil doer..!
It is so difficult and delicate a subject that dry logic and hardened intellect (ego) can not delve into its mysteries.. Each religion says a part of the Truth like ten blind men explaining the elephant by parts... But the little Truth about God and His Ethics of good conduct would suffice for redemption of Man...
More than the sceptics, it is the clergy that offend religions by their parochial appraoches of dividing societies.. So dont blame religions for the lapses of the clerics.. They are the sea water (not the optimal salt in food but the offending emetic)... See your God within you ever loving and guarding and guiding us through our conscience..

no one can prove their religion is the truth. Religion is faith and faith alone. I'm Wicca and i won't sit here and say that i have solid proof that there is a God and Goddess. Only that it would make sense if there is Man and Woman then there would Be both a God and Goddess not just God. But I can't prove their existence and it would be crazy for me to say i could.

There is no need for anyone to prove his or her religion is the truth. For as long as YOU believe that your religion is right, go ahead and worship the GOD that you believe in. And we have no business to prove that others' religion is not the truth nor is wrong.
In short, we should not go about knocking into others' Gods. That is what mutual respect and tolerance for other religion is all about

All there is to it is faith but what is faith exactly believing in something that has absolutely no factual merit How anyone can believe in something that has no proof is a mystery to me but if you have come to Y/A seeking proof of any spiritual belief structure you better check your brain at the door

If it could be proved, it would no longer be 'religion.' The point of religion is to create dogmatic opinions regarding moral and metaphysical philosophy, and the corporate religious experience. It can only be 'proved' or 'disproved' based on how well it adheres to its own internal logic.

It was proved before it was sent to us.I mean when prophets like Geasus and Mohammad were sent ,the religion was examined by God and then they asked us to follow them. Anything that comes from God is right , because he created us and he knows what is bad for us and what is good.Just like an inventor who invents sth and knows how to deal with it.

Nope! The only thing mankind is left with for proof is this beautiful earth, and the universe! someone created it and designed every creature on it! adapted their body's for specific tasks, such as flying, swimming, running, walking, and thinking! So who? must be a God! surely! or else this planet would just be a rock! Proof enough?

Indeed Catholicism is the truth|
If you shine the light of reason on any other religion or philosophical system incompatible with Catholicism, eventually it comes to the point where it breaks down|
With Catholicism, if you shine the light of reason on it more and more, and it just keeps getting stronger and stronger, without limit|
But there is always a domain of *mystery* outside of human comprehension|
Even in the Beatific Vision in Heaven, which is the complete and absolute fulfillment of all desires for the angels and blessed there, God will never be completely comprehended|
Even the human intellect of Christ (which would be infinite from any other being's point of view), cannot fully comprehend the divinity| It cannot know everything that is true about God| It cannot know all possibilities (even though Jesus' human intellect was infused with a knowledge of all *actual* creation for all time in all its details - which he had from the moment of His conception, or His Incarnation as *man* in the womb of Mary)| The human intellect of Christ cannot know all that is within the power of God, since in the divine simplicity, power and being are *one* in God, so the power of God would be co-extensive with His being, which is incomprehensible to any finite intellect|
Only the divine intellect comprehends itself completely and absolutely - that is, only God Himself fully and completely knows God|
But with the Catholic Faith, an infinite deductive science can proceed from it - as science is defined as those truths that can be deduced (or induced) from the evident first principles or reason, empirical facts, or revealed truths|
In fact, vast systems of science can proceed from it|
