There's descriptions & methods in religions that can be tested; schools to learn & try these things. You would have to ignore the e.g. hundreds of thousands of scriptures available to say there isn't any evidence that can be tested. You have to know what something is before being able to falsify it. It can be taken just on a story-level too, and still be effective.
I would like better opportunity to practice.
You still haven't answered the question. I didn't ask what evidence exists for your position, I asked what evidence would count against it.
Those are different questions.
There's plenty of information & methods available that can be tested or scrutinized. If they fail or are contradictory, that can be disconfirming.
so what would a failed test look like, specifically? If someone follows the methods sincerely and doesnt experience a deity, does that count? or would you say they didn't try hard enough?
