"Strict adherence to any religion forces you to believe silly things from time to time..."

Or politics, or philosophy, or economics, or art... or pretty much anything. However, I imagine many will rationalize a difference without a distinction to better validate their own endearing yet rather extreme affairs with conceptualizations. So many economists, so many politicians, so many artists "he more they talk the more likely they are to bust out completely wrong arguments based on belief rather than reality...."

However, I can see why one might want to limit all of those only to religion-- as it's far more convenient and simplistic.
