If it was treated as religion instead is science I would be open to that, but the papers churned out by "experts" today become policy tomorrow that effect everyone.

Religions dictate and have been dictating policy since forever we had governments and even before that. It's what people understand and mostly everyone seems to be ok with it.
Also, I think it would marvel you knowing how much things you would call "scientific study" are also heavily politicized.
If this bothers you to a big extent I would recommend you try to find comfort in thinking about postmodern sociology as a religion different than yours. They won't be bothered by it and it will probably fit your mindset in a more soothing way than thinking about them as scientists. It's not that they are trying to publish their findings in ACM TOPLAS or something, they have their own community and books and kinda like it.
