Within scientific disciplines, I believe that computer science is more rationalistic than others due to its deductibility (can be proved mathematically).
Taboo “rational”, “rationalistic” and “rationalism” or provide very precise definitions.
You seem to mean by rationalism something like “access to absolute truth.” That’s a problem because even mathematics doesn’t have that sort of access. There’s always a chance that a “theorem” has an error in it. Even 2+2=4 might be wrong. So all truth claims are probabilistic, and shouldn’t have a probability of 1 assigned to them. I strongly suggest you read the sequences.

Of course, tabooing this can be useful, to sort out the various things it means in practice.
