Such a bizarre &childish response to criticism of an equality movement.Why should we try to get everything right & address problems within?
Of course not. But that is how I understand religion to differ from other ideologies. Supernatural & a moral code.

I see the distinction blurring. Is the uncritical real world application of bad social science a "supernatural" ritual?
-
No. No claims of anything outside the laws of physics or of a magical nature are made. Just faulty methodology & thinking.,
-
I don't think it helps to blur the lines between claims of a magical nature & faulty thinking about a material world.
-
Certainly not in cases where bad methodology/thinking are to blame, but I've seen some papers with pretty bizarre hypotheses.
-
Absolutely but ppl do at least think they're talking abt the material world that exists in reality.
-
Postmodern philosophy seems to shrug off the distinction despite its secular grounding.
-
Sometimes it makes claims about the supernatural but mostly it just talks abt perceptual woo.

Perhaps that is a bit of an exaggeration, but the mechanisms of putting beliefs over reality (even with good intent) are there.

That is very common to humans & religion is one powerful example of it. I like Jon Haidt on this - elephant & rider.
