Economics in general is more akin to religion than it is to science. Seems pretty hinged to me

Incoherent response. tonymet (OP) protested that it was a “complicated topic”, not that economics itself is bunk. In fact saying that it is a complicated topic implies that one should respect the field.

You can’t arbitrarily denigrate one side of the argument because economics is a religion when both sides take it as a given that economics is a rational field of study.
