CINTORA, Armando. Religion and Science Without Belief?. Prax. filos. [online]. 2022, n.54, pp.31-50.  Epub Mar 09, 2022. ISSN 0120-4688.  https://doi.org/10.25100/pfilosofica.v0i54.11932.

Two examples of ritualistic religious traditions are described, traditions that emphasise orthopraxis, then it is argued that such examples make psychological and sociologically plausible the attitude of Sextus Empiricus towards religion, an attitude in which religion is exclusively ritualistic, in which religion is doctrineless, while he suspends judgement on doctrine, on orthodoxy; and it is argued that the pyrrhonist also proceeded thus in relation to medicine. It is also sketched an argument in favour of a rustic interpretation of Pyrrhonism.

Keywords : Ritualism; Orthopraxis; Japanese Religion; Roman Pagan Religion; Rustic Pyrrhonism.
