Guessing “reductionism” here means “pointing out that attractive religiously-motivated ideas are factually wrong.” Scientism vs. Romanticism

“Reductionism” is a sacred word that plays a major part in fringe ideologies, pro or con, but refers to nothing in the real world.

“Moral relativism” is another example. Some people are passionately for or against it, but no one can actually explain what it means.

Terms like “reductionism” and “moral relativism” do not refer; they express vague emotional/aesthetic attitudes toward a conceptual domain.
