Religions say general empirical things about existence. This means they can't even in principle be falsified and are therefore lower in status than theories. Neither of course can they be proved. One interesting religion is Atheism which states the null hypothesis as being true. You can never know this as you can never be sure you've looked everywhere. So Agnosticism seems the only sensible belief for the very reason that it doesn't believe anything
