loganmule,
i have difficulty understanding your meaning. you say religion cannot encompass legitimate philosophy because it relies on underlying assumptions about God.
yet, nearly all philosophies assume things we cannot empirically prove that are built from the mind's perception of truth.
i'm doubting you would disqualify every philosophical tradition built on an assumption of from the corpus of philosophy though they exhibit the characteristics you fault philosophy-from-religion for.
