Ignoring for the moment that this is goalpost shifting, as well as shifting the burden of proof, all Lion IRC said was, "Scientism is a religion." That was the Alpha and the Omega. Feel free to demonstrate how this is "an attack on critical thinkers here." In the meantime, I'll be over here laughing my ass off.

My post that you replied to did not mention Lion IRC. The "Derogatory Manner" line that I was quoting was from your post of the Oxford dictionary definition.
Oxford English Dictionary
scientism, n.
2. A term applied (freq. in a derogatory manner)

My question was directed at this segment of the definition, I asked you how did you interpret what the Oxford writers meant by that.

I don't get what is so funny about that, but don't let it stop you from laughing. Laughter is good for the health.
