Key word “often.” I think you do a lot of great work. But in this area you’re in the wrong company.

Let’s just put it this way. Homeopaths like to compare skepticism to religion in order to dismiss it. So do antivaxxers, quacks, climate science deniers, creationists, 9/11 Truthers, and cranks and denialists of all varieties. Using that language without nuance is NOT a good look

No. Why should I? It's clearly meant to be ironic. Perhaps you should take this up with @SusanGerbic if it bothers you so much.
