>But if you genuinely think you've found salvation and meaning, isn't it kind of selfish to keep that to yourself?

And isn't it stupid not to double-check the evidence and figure out how to demonstrate the ostensible truth you've gained to others?

That depends. If your definition of epistemic justification is some variant of Positivism, then my answer is "no".

If your definition of epistemic justification is not so utterly self-defeating, then "yes", but then we can no longer automatically infer that religious beliefs are unjustified.
