Vervaeke seems focused more on religious practices, so the faith would be needed to fit into a healthy relationship to the world, and this relationship would be relative to personal or social standards, so it would be immune from criticism. That's a politically correct account of religion that boils down to liberal tolerance. Yet I think our existential condition supplies us with standards for judging worldviews and practices, so they're not all equal.

Also, we might claim a practice benefits us, but be wrong, as when we join a predatory cult.
