Hi. All helpful comments & constructive criticism are welcome:

Observation: “Scientism” shares some commonalities with religions.

Speculation: “Scientism” is effectively a type of religion.

H0 (Null Hypothesis): “Scientism” is not a type of religion.

H1 (Hypothesis to be tested): “Scientism” is effectively a type of religion.

Aim: Disprove the Null Hypothesis.

[If H0 is demonstrated to be NOT true, then H1 is implied to be true]

Task: Design experiment(s) to disprove that “Scientism” is not a religion.

Test: Approach a Science-ist (one who behaves as though they are an adherent of “Scientism”). Challenge their open-mindedness and willingness to re-consider their righteousness. Probe the Science-ist with a series of Aristotlean-style questions to test the robustness of their weltanschauung. The Science-ist should be posed with a series of thought experiments designed to bypass, stealthily penetrate or neutralise a weakness in their cognitive scaffolding and mental shielding. If their defensive counterarguments sooner or later devolve into logical fallacies such as Ad-Hominem attacks, then H0 will have been disproven, and it will be implied that H1 should be accepted as True.
