None of them (logic, science, and reason) have any real value, and to belong to the church of logic requires a leap of faith.

Yeah, it is ultimately a leap of faith that Logic produces anything. I use it on a day to day basis but there is no proof in my opinion that C = A AND B is universal, unaltering or absolutely provable.

I would strongly disagree that logic, science and reason are Santas that don't bring gifts. Studying the mechanism helps you remove some of the mystery, but not all the mystery.

You are communicating with me now through the proven powers of this "religion" as you call it. I make distinctions between religions and philosophies. Those things you name are philosophies where religions must be dogmatic because they may profess "truths" that can't be tested, must be believed and don't have to be reproduced. They may also be in conflict with observable facts, yet this poses no problem for their adherents. That would be a big problem for an "adherent" of science.
