Religion is not mathematics nor science; it is based on faith and not on logical prooves or experimental data
Exactly, and that is exactly the problem.
I can conjure up any number of fantasies and believe them based on "faith and not on logical prooves or experimental data".
Unfalsifiable faith based models are literally infinite in number, only really limited by the potential of human imagination.
I find totally convincing the christian concept of divine love and this represents the foundation of my faith.
But you have no actual reason to, is what I'm saying.
Faith is not a pathway to truth. On faith, you can believe literally anything. Even including that which is demonstrably false.
I am a physicist, and my religious believes are absolutely coherent with our scientific knowledges
Which doesn't mean anything. Every single unfalsifiable faith based belief can be said to be coherent with scientific knowledge. It is by definition, since it is unfalsifiable..........................................
Undetectable extra dimensional unicorns play poker on the surface of Neptune. There you go. Nothing in science is incompatible with that one and it can't be shown to be wrong.
; therefore, my faith has also solid rational grounds
The same kind of "solid rational grounds" as you'ld have for the poker-playing unicorns.
, but religion never reduces to a study of the physical realm and requires acts of faith.
Yep. The very definition of superstition.
The Old Testament is to be interpreted in the light of the New Testament; in the Old Testament we find an imperfect theology.
Nothing in the NT overrides the barbarity of the OT.
