Sounds OK to me, provided we include the religion of
reductivist scientism (i.e., all the PhDs in prestige
universities who are busy explaining how "consciousness"
is an epiphenonenon of biochemical -- or
algorithmic -- processes in brains, and the
religion of objectivating social science, which
is busy manipulating people as parts of systems rather
than engaging with them in dialog, etc.).

As Emmanuel Levinas said, the only true religion
is inter-personal human relations of caring
respect (Hegel's "God appearing in the midst of
those who know themselves in the form of pure
knowledge").....
