True, a scientific worldview also requires some basic assumptions. But just because no scientific/religious claim can be 100% logically proven, it doesn't mean that they are all on the same footing. Maybe the world 'reasonable' is just used to mean that there's more empirical evidence for something.
Religion to me comes down to psychology. Would people invent God to help cope with death and give meaning to their existence? Sure seems like a plausible explanation to me.
But yeah there's no decisive logical answer which is why these arguments tend to drag on ad infinitum
