Fair enough. But bear in mind that it normally happens when the alternative is a religionist pushing ideas about the nature of reality that have had zero peer review.
This seems to be a bias against those of faith, which bias is one of the issues. Also remember the discussion that peer review isn't just the initial review of the publishing journal. If there is good reason to argue against a specific study, then I think that should be presented and discussed, rather than making hyperbole about "zero peer review".
