art: there are some things which are beyond proof and therefore not really worth discussing. Consider these assumptions in science: occam's razor states that, given two possible explanations for a phenomenon, the simpler one is preferred. the scientific method itself (generation of a hypothesis, experiment, conclusion) is also beyond proof. if you take these ideas as given, you can move on to produce interesting scientific results.
similarly, it can be taken a priori that there is a god, because it feels right at some gut level. the arguments based on this assumption can still be very useful.
However, i would consider this the realm of philosophy, personally, and not religion. Religion to me is grounded in history. Your definitions may vary.
