How is writing hundreds of articles about religion ignoring religious claims?

Your distinction between emotivism and empiricism is positivistic.

My view of knowledge is a pragmatic take on Kantianism.

Exoteric, literalistic, anachronistic theism is irrational in the modern world because in that context, science sets the agenda for reason and defines what reason is. For instance, theistic arguments for God are all fallacious, yet religious people believe that God exists anyway, because their religious beliefs are supported in other ways.

For bad faith in religion, have a look at Americanized, Evangelical Christianity such as the Trumpian kind, the prosperity gospel, or the televangelist schemes.
