God is not religion. A religion is a belief system requiring a certain amount of blind faith, and while most are based upon a belief in a supreme being, some are not. It takes just as much faith to believe in one unproved theory as it does to believe in another, regardless of whether or not God is included in the equation.

I disagree with your statement. On one hand, we have a theory of evolution, with a pretty obvious set of evidentiary fossils to look at. These can be seen in any large natural history museum. One can draw one's own conclusions after viewing them. Faith is not required to believe that evolution was the process that led to speciation.
On the other hand, we have various human religions, each with its own creation story. The evidence for these is a bit more difficult to view. We have some old writings, going back to a time when the writers were living in a world with no explanations for much of anything. From these writings we are to believe that some invisible entity waved its arms and spoke the universe into existence and created all the lifeforms in that universe. Sorry, but that does require faith to believe.
So a planet teeming with fossil evidence of the theory of evolution versus a belief in an invisible supernatural entity of one sort or another which simply caused things to appear suddenly.
The two things are very, very different, indeed. Many people do have the faith required to believe in supernatural entities. Others do not and rely on physical evidence.
You cannot equate belief in supernatural entities and belief that scientific theories are correct. That's a confabulation.

Good comment though I would say (with regards to the Wiccans), what many people seem to regard as religion IS based upon a belief in a supreme being.
