re: Why do most conservatives embrace a lack of evidence re: climate change but not religion?

My original post was aimed an understanding the inconsistency re: the burden of proof needed for climate change but not religious beliefs. I don't understand why some apply reason in some instances but not others.
eta: I think the inconsistency is attributable to a false narrative people intake in order to support their own ignorances. Thoughts?

Religion, not so much.

What about that is confusing?

Religion isn't really falsifiable because many of its ideas involve things that supposedly exist outside the physical universe. We don't have the ability to test religion.
Now, we can falsify certain claims of various religions (such as a global flood) but religion in general can't be disproven.
That doesn't mean there is any good reason to believe any of the claims made by organized religion are true, though.
