I think we've converged on violent agreement, except one point:

And among those things worship and sacred texts are arguably less important than e.g. falsifiability.

It depends. Belief in importance, hidden message, or even literal truth of ancient texts is generally more reliable indicator of practical irrationality than having an opinion about some undecidable propositions is.

You're right. I retract this part.
