It goes without saying that writers like Jung, Campbell and Eliade are more interesting from a philosophical point of view than a scientific one. The "not science" gotcha is the ultimate midwit refutal against what anything that you dislike, it implies that we seek objectivity as the ultimate goal in our lives.

History of religion has broadly speaking two different kinds of audiences, those who seek for approval and those who seek for refutation. it is either Marx's approach or Eliade's approach. But I guess that, like many communists don't care whether or not social divide is a real and global conspiracy, those approaching the history of religion need more than the atoms and molecules of history.
