But religion is part of human history and psychology.
There are several sciences where a study of religion is appropriate.
Surely you're not saying that religion shouldn't be studied in anthropology, psychology and psychiatry?
Religion shouldn't be mistaken for a science, of course, but it is a fit subject for study.
