Do you believe that the same types of reasoning and standards used in science should be applied to religion?
The belief is that God gives commandments that are for our benefit so they are not arbitrary in nature even if we do not understand them at the time. Choosing which religion to follow should use the same types of reasoning and include various tests to determine validity. Much of what God says is in the form of general principles that can then be used for further reasoning. When reasoning about religion one should reach ones own conclusion and then seek personal revelation on the subject.
So the same types of reasoning should be applied but is not the only thing used.
