Truthiness -- things that a person claims to know intuitively, instinctively, or "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or actual facts (Stephen Colbert)

Most religions are based on truthiness. Additionally, most religions have some degree of truth in them. The ones I would disqualify as having no degree of truth in them are the REALLY wierd ones like Satanism, or Atheism. The one that has 360 degrees of truth is my own, and if you can't say that about your own religion, you haven't been looking hard enough!

To this day, no religion can prove that there is a man living in a cloud. Based on that, the Tooth Fairy is also based on truthiness.

No... it's based on faith.
Truthiness is naivety.
People with faith have evidence, they have logic... it's not intuitive. Actually, intuitively and instinctively, believing in something one could not see wouldn't make much sense.
Faith is not having to see it directly to know it's there but being able to sense it because of other (often more subtle) evidence.

Scientist know that molecules are in haotic moving,and that nothing looks normal if everything goes wrong,that's one thing.And the other,religion has been changet,through ages.For example,Nero burned christians,and Constantine agreed to accept christianity,but changed some things.he burned some of the christian texts,which show that there is other meaning of bible,but some of them are saved,so....you can never trust those things

It is based on truthiness. Truthiness is all they have, no evidence, just 'gut feelings'.

Jehovah's witnesses base all teachings on truth from the bible.

religion is based on power and control

Pretty much.
And no realistic evidence, because that would invalidate its innate truthiness.
