"TINAG" as in This Is Not A Game.

"religion's TINAG" as in there is an aspect to most religions that is

the reality you can manifestly discover, that you cannot empirically
detect or question.

I'm hoping that the essay that this came from will get published soon;
c.f. earlier response on this subject.
