I downvoted this because it contains large claims which are vague and probably false, and also because I don’t see any relevance to the EA movement. To single one out, “The skeptical movement seems to be involved to some extent with regards to its branding and possibly research interference” sound like how pseudoscientists claim that controlled experiments interfere with their supernatural powers. Will reverse this vote if there’s evidence I’m wrong.
Dr. Jeffrey Bland provides a good explanation. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dr.+jeffrey+bland The skeptical movement and conflict of interest from certain industries such as the biotech industry and sex industry appear to be at least partially responsible for the replication crisis and appear to have a large or widespread influence or impact in academia and the scientific community.
Some stuff that seems “woo” does seem to be pseudoscientific. I’m not denying that. However, there appears to be bias towards and conflict of interest regarding much of it which has implications for philosophy and many social sciences such as anthropology, political science, medicine, and archeology. Also, I’m not claiming these interpretations are scientific, but there does seem to be a lot of evidence to support them.
To add to these, it’s said the eyes are the window to the soul.
There’s evidence to suggest the “monster under the bed”, “boogie monster”, “monster in the closet”, and the “monster is just a tree branch” meme are occurrences of sleep paralysis. There’s also evidence to suggest the Bloody Mary ritual is related to their third eye and hallucinations.
If you look at verses about “God”, “God” could possibly refer to the universe (sometimes in a general sense), an enlightened individual or guru, or the holy spirit, the father, and the son, depending on context.
It seems like more than a coincidence that Roman deities are referred to as planets, “planets” are involved in astrology and, if I recall correctly, alchemy, and there’s a practice in Taoism called the microcosmic orbit.

There are efforts to promote geographic diversity in EA, as well as translate and integrate EA ideas to other cultures and do cross-cultural moral research. Furthering any one of these would reduce the effect of any Eurocentric bias the EA community has inherited, and I think they’re all better places to look than alternative medicine.
