This point has helped me understand the original post more.
I feel that too many times, many EAs take current EA frameworks and ways of thinking for granted instead of questioning those frameworks and actively trying to identify flaws and in-built assumptions. Thinking through and questioning those perspectives is a good exercise in general but also extremely helpful to contribute to the motivating worldview of the community.
Still don’t believe that this necessarily means EAs “tend toward the religious”—there are probably several layers of nuance that are missing in that statement.
All in all, I’d love to see more people critique EA frameworks and conventional EA ideas in this forum—I believe there are plenty of flaws to be found.
