Here, rationality implies that you derive epistemology (confidence equals weight of evidence), semantics (what does it mean to mean something), nature of belief vs. hypothesis vs. faith etc. so you get a toolkit to sandbox and analyze arbitrary doctrines without getting infected.

You don’t have to. Rationality itself is a tool, not a norm. It is fully if-then. You can construct yourself a rationalist norm (truth is preferable to untruth) or an antirationalist one (some truths are bad and must be suppressed), but that requires additional assumptions.
