Well, if something can be demonstrably true or false, then we can get concrete answers. Gravity is proven. There is no evidece--so far-- of tiny organisms controlling matter. Religion, on the other hand, could not be falsified in the scientific sense. Many religious claims have been disproven or could not even be proven. Unless you're a Mormon, we all know Jesus didn't come to America. There is no evidence of Red Sea parting according to archaeological studies. Someone claiming to seeing ghost right now, how can that even be proven or disproven? Edit: actually, Brian Cox made a great point that since we created a machine that could detect particles that is billionth of a size smaller, we still have not detected any signs of ghostly presence. It's a convincing point and to me, it sounds like he did debunk ghosts.
If I had to pick one thing in woo that had an even small chance of being true it would be ghosts. Just given the sheer volume of cultures that have reported them. Maybe 5% chance while skydaddy has a 4% chance.
