Fair enough what's a better wording. I'm trying to convey the mental models that are more natural in the religious world and lacking in the secular world (outside of philosophy )


A better explanation is that those mental models are in fact universal. Things like bias, magical thinking, and dogma exist in all fields of humans life. Science included. But why stop there? Why not question the biological basis for those phenomena? Why not try and understand why we do those things. Light the candle and shine a light on the darkness.


> it just means that you don’t have the cognitive tools to recognize the secular ideology that you have adopted.

Maybe: "it just means that you haven't recognized the secular ideology that you have adopted"?
