Can you prove to me religions are lying? (OK for some ridiculous claims you can but for most of them you can't, it's vague stuff beyond testability)
Religion also can't really do direct harm in the same way pills can. Indirect harm maybe if someone chooses their faith over medicine or something but not direct harm. Pills need to be rigorously tested and regulated or you get shit like the thalidomide scandal.
And just like religion they're allowed to be sold and idiots buy into them - see homeopathy for an example. They just can't do the same with medicines because that shit is tightly controlled for a good reason.

Plenty of pills do no harm and also don't cure shit. Same track record as religion.
