Applies to many things. Not just religion

What is the relevance to my comment? I agree by the way.
Whats more to the point, it's not science.

Except it doesn’t. Science is all about asking questions, religion is about accepting answers.
That's the ideal the commentor is talking about, this isn't reality. A significant number of peer reviewed papers are being published without replicable results or any hint of a falsifiable hypothesis.

Not only religion - narcissistic (and other kinds of) assholes exhibit the same behaviour. Does this mean that all assholes are religious?

And how do you know this? Is it because someone said "this is true" and then someone else was then able to say "no it isn't - and here's the evidence".

The issue is at its core one is about questioning and one isn’t. That fundamental doesn’t change.

Well, that's kinda my point, a lot of modern theoretical physics doesn't present a falsifiable hypothesis - it can't be tested, there's no proposal for how it could ever be tested.
In terms of evidence the unrepeatable results - some of it is being repeated and checked, a lot of it isnt. Predictions of how bad the problem is is derived statistically. So much so it's considered a crisis in modern science.

I’d say the latter is just dogmatism, which exists in both science and religion. As a radical skeptic, I simply suspend judgment about any claim — sometimes questioning it, other times engaging it for the sake of practicality.
bingo.
plenty of science, scientsits, and science worshippers are dogmatic about science. scientism is a thing often leads to the same absurdities as extreme religious belief does
