Sam Harris came closer when he put the accusing finger on faith. If you don't place an appropriate burden of proof on each and every additional nice claim, the affective resonance gets started very easily.

How does one determine the appropriate burden of proof?

I would say that is when there is empirical evidence supporting the claim but, try as you might, you can't find any that falsifies it.
