But why is religion special in this regard? Why does religion necessarily operate at a level closer to philosophy but other things don't?


What other things do you mean, and why do you think it’s special?

“At this level” in context of this discussion simply means matters outside of the scope of natural sciences. Both philosophy (e.g., of mind) and religion make claims that are non-provable and non-falsifiable using scientific method. They are orthogonal to it.
