Indeed, only few authors (e.g., [Kuipers, 2001]) have dared ask the question of whether, for example, theology is a pseudoscience, and whether there is such a thing as pseudophilosophy. ... Theology is somewhat different, because the work of theologians ranges from the social sciences to the humanities. While working, for instance, in the field of comparative religion, text analysis, or sociology of religion, theologians do proper scientific and humanistic work... Presumably, the main problem with theology is institutional, because theology is by its very essence denominational: the theologian is the representative of some particular religion and is therefore expected to accept its creed as a given. The core of this belief system is not open to revision as a matter of principle, wherefore it must be regarded as a form of unscientific dogmatism... Thus, it seems that, due to its fundamentally denominational and dogmatic nature, theology as an epistemic field is pseudoscientific or pseudohumanistic, respectively.
