To call some area of inquiry “not science” or “unscientific” or to label it “religion” or “myth” is within contemporary western culture a common maneuver for discrediting an idea.

Calling something "not science" is not discrediting it but classifying it. Some areas of inquiry are science and some are not. There's no value judgment implied in the categorization. Love isn't science, either, but it doesn't play second fiddle to things that are.
