Religion is the original norm for producing knowledge[.]
I specifically was objecting to “the” and “original”. Religion has never been the only norm for producing knowledge—observation has been prevalent for large classes of knowledge where we don’t even think of applying religion (or formalized science, for that matter). I would also surmise that observation came first.
I never made any claim about all knowledge.
