I have not really encountered the word “scientistic” a lot. To me there is a big difference between “scientific” and “scientism” and we are dealing here at a level where such kind of distinctions are crucial.
Agreed. I am using “scientistic” to mean “attempting to fit into science as literary genre.”
Religions might come with a clear tradition lines but it can be quite nebolous to map what the corresponding things are for areligious people.
My model is that areligious people indeed vary, but that there is a specific “science as literary genre” thing that leads a particular subset of people to reject religion in similar ways (and to often also reject e.g. virtue ethics or having rhythms to life such as weekends at the same time), with sometimes-similar psychological sequelae.
Wait, where do I do that?
