Quantum Mechanics is falsifiable; MWI vs Copenhagen is mathematically equivalent. I'd call it a preference rather than a religion.
[edit] Poster below states that they're not mathematically equivalent. I think a better way of saying it is "MWI is related to Copenhagen so that observable evidence for or against one is always and exactly observable evidence for or against the other as well. "
Unfortunately, it is not treated as a preference. People use magic words like Occam's razor, Solomonoff induction and Kolmogorov complexity to justify why the MWI is better, without any attempt to quantify it. Well, I did make an attempt to quantify the complexity in one of my comments. Predictably, at least in the hindsight, there was little interest in discussing the validity or the consequences of this approach.
