Jesus spoke to large crowds like Sermon on the Mount, and the multitudes greeted him when he entered Jerusalem. He was seen by large numbers of the populous at the time. He entered the Temple and expelled the money changers. Pictures of European Christ shows him to be tall blond and blue eyes. You would think he would stand out in Jerusalem from the other dark skin brown people? But no, the Hebrew authorities had to pay Judas to betray Christ. It does not make sense to think we have no idea what Jesus looked like. He was a normal looking middle eastern man of his time.

Some persons have a psychological need to believe in unsubstantiated god or gods.
Others do not.

On one side are the religious ‘believers’ who adhere to the propaganda promoted by various churches and faiths. Presuppositions based on “documentation” written by men. And “faith”.
No verifiable evidence!

On the other side are the religious ‘deniers’ who reiterate there is no proof of the existence of any unsubstantial all-powerful, directive intelligence.
No verifiable evidence!

The only rational position seems to be Agnosticism “I am not SURE” — questioning all “evidence” due to:
No verifiable evidence!

How can any person actually KNOW in this lifetime ?

Facts may not penetrate to your conscious mind, but there is Old Testament and Talmud evidence (predating the bible) concerning Jewish beliefs about the ‘beginning-of-life’.

”Jewish law does not share the belief common among abortion opponents that life begins at conception, nor does it legally consider the fetus to be a full person deserving of protections equal those accorded to human beings. In Jewish law, a fetus attains the status of a full person only at birth. Sources in the Talmud indicate that prior to 40 days of gestation, the fetus has an even more limited legal status, with one Talmudic authority (Yevamot 69b) asserting that prior to 40 days the fetus is “mere water.” Elsewhere, the Talmud indicates that the ancient rabbis regarded a fetus as part of its mother throughout the pregnancy, dependent fully on her for its life — a view that echoes the position that women should be free to make decisions concerning their own bodies.”


From The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America (Orthodox Union) https://aish.com/abortion-in-jewish-law/ :

”We cannot support absolute bans on abortion—at any time point in a pregnancy—that would not allow access to abortion in lifesaving situations. Similarly, we cannot support legislation that permits “abortion on demand”—at any time point in a pregnancy—and does not confine abortion to situations in which medical (including mental health) professionals affirm that carrying the pregnancy to term poses real risk to the life of the mother.

“As people of faith, we see life as a precious gift granted to us and maintained within us by God. Jewish law places paramount value on choosing life and mandates – not as a right but as a responsibility – safeguarding our own lives and the lives of others by behaving in a healthy and secure manner, doing everything in our power to save lives, and refraining from endangering others. This concern for even potential life extends to the unborn fetus and to the terminally ill.

Abortion on demand – the “right to choose” (as well as the “right to die”) – are thus completely at odds with our religious and halachic values. Legislation and court rulings that enshrine such rights concern us deeply on a societal level.

Yet that same mandate to preserve life requires us to be concerned for the life of the mother. Jewish law prioritizes the life of the pregnant mother over the life of the fetus such that where the pregnancy critically endangers the physical health or mental health of the mother, an abortion may be authorized, if not mandated, by Halacha (Jewish law) and should be available to all women irrespective of their economic status.
Legislation and court rulings-federally or in any state-that absolutely ban abortion without regard for the health of the mother would literally limit our ability to live our lives in accordance with our responsibility to preserve life.” (Emphasis added)

You are confused and have it reversed. Not being an Atheist is the irrational position to hold according to the scientists. Nothing wrong with being a believer in something that has no scientific proof behind it as long as you realize it. I read somewhere that scientists are the largest group of non-believers; for good reason. I've talked to scientists who do believe in religion but even they agree there is no science behind their belief in God. As science has advanced over the years, belief in religion has waned. For example, as science explained how, scientifically, earthquakes and hurricanes occur, then the belief that the angry God or gods caused the event.......diminished. I read an interesting fact not too long ago that Christianity has decreased in all continents except one........last few decades. Can you guess the exception? Africa. No explanation but I'm guessing Africa has so many problems that they need religion to help them cope.
