Hold it right there, I saw what you tried to pull, and you don't get away with it.

"Proof" is defined as "evidence or argument establishing or helping to establish a fact or the truth of a statement."
a "fact" is defined as "something that has actual existence" or "a piece of information presented as having objective reality."
"truth" is defined as "the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality."

Thus for you to make that statement you must concede a universe of reality does exist as it stands (or in general as it appears to us), because in order to demand proof there has to be proof and a universe capable of carrying and providing it.

You're trying to use the principles of reality to argue reality does not exist, which, until I find a more exact definition, I shall refer to your logical fallacy as "the argument from non-existience."

Your mind is making shit up, and you're believing it completely, even in the face of zero proof or evidence. Your belief in a world is purely religious.
Wrong, it is not "religious." You should be aware words have meanings. That word means "relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity," where "ultimate reality" means "supernatural." Nothing I said requires a supernatural force nor a god.

And again, it's another form of "argument from non-existence." Human beings have minds born tabula rasa, without content, ad they learn and understand reality from the data their senses provide to them. Were our brains "making shit up" what you are postulating are blank brains with no knowledge or information creating representative examples of the universe ex nihilo, with no knowledge, understanding or form in what effectively would be a blank brain without experience.
