Philosophers often align their brands with lost causes, because they figure that all the good ones are taken. Intellectual progress is so slow that you can pick a hill to die on, build an indefensible home there, and generations later it may still look like a fortress.
I would call this not philosophy but therapy, but I don't think that it matters. The academic philosophers don't have a trademark on the term :)

Therapy is science, too. Philosophy is above all that factual/objective/practical stuff. All philosophy uses science in a broad way to connect the self to reality as a whole. It's the bridge between the personal (subjective) and the cosmological (objective).

I think that you arrived at different answers than me, mostly because your epistemology is different. I erase all confidence in the absence of evidence, and rebuild from there.

Baiscally, religion is a form of philosophy. Just not a very modern, scientifically up-to-date one (except a few, like Buddhism).
