Faith is usually only part of the claim.
I think you’re attempting to take a specific aspect of religion (faith) and inflating it to give religion in general some magical armor against rationality.
​
Rarely are matters of faith exclusively delegated to some spiritual realm. Once faith intrudes impinges on reality then it opens itself up to scrutiny. No one has to buy into, Every time I pray it rains gold coins at my feet and you shouldn’t use science to check out this claim since it is based on faith.
