IMHO it looks like you're being misled by some kind of misguided essentialism.
I agree that I didnt think clearly, that perhaps stating facts as they are is not essentially a good thing for society in general , perhaps there is a need to blur the boundaries verbally to see them blur in our minds as well. I dont defend the word 'faith systems', I said anything along those lines, one could call it as 'systems of living' for example. I havent fixed my mind yet on this issue, I am only discussing.
...something along the lines of 'faith systems' is correct.
