Very different levels. Do you play with your mind by using all available stimuli or do you submit to the injection of beliefs without possibility of evidential support?

Sounds like you are using the terms religion and blind faith interchangeably, which does extraordinary violence to the accumulated wealth of wisdom and symbolically encoded insight stored in and transmitted by the world's traditions...

Yes, there are evil cults that plunge the other half of the world into centuries of darkness, and wise religions that enlighten my half of the world with centuries of insight. :)

That sounds very black and white - and if I'm not mistaken, tolerance for ambiguity is a hallmark of Kegan's stage 4 and (even more so) stage 5...

Yes, you easily discover that there is not a single valid narrative but a map of possible truths. But the ambiguity does not extend to "perhaps we can go back to Newtonian physics" or "perhaps people talking to burning bushes have access to a deeper level of cosmic truth".

Most of western science and philosophy is still secretly refuting the null hypotheses of creation, objective transcendental source of meaning and dualism. The problem is not in the possible acceptance, but in the mere deference to these claims.

The problem with gnostic knowledge is not its content, but the positive confidence without evidence. We can have as much content as we want, but must only assign confidence to them according to the evidential support, which esoteric practice and religion reject.
