However I implicitly assumed that we are talking about  intersubjective verifiability. In Buddhism the steps are made explicit to an extent that it state things like "first do such thing this much, then you will observe such things happening...then do such thing and...", etc..etc. I don't know if those other practices explicitly state things like how much steps should you take in your dance if you are to achieve such state, and what will be the consequences you will observe so that you can make sure you arrived at a particular guide post, etc. If they do so, surely should they too be excluded from taking as mere religious beliefs.</blockquote>
