I would be surprised if you could not say religion isn’t true and move on from that.
Also, I generally agree with your perspective that the best content on LW is about epistemic rationality (and usually tends more towards theoretical rationality than practical rationality, if I use the distinction Scott introduced below). And am interested in incentivizing more content in that direction.
I also think a lot of the best content on LW was of the form of fact-posts and cross-pollination of a large swath of separate existing bodies of knowledge (in the style of Sarah Constantin’s fact posts, Luke’s literature reviews and Scott’s analysis of various theoretical topics), which doesn’t really fit into any of the categories and is more related to something like “empirical big-picture studies on how the world functions”.
