Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

You've made several assertions I find problematic. They are in bold.
Philosophers are happy to have their philosophies overturned? Really? Secondly, how do you overturn a philosophy by investigation and observation?
I could accept the claim that philosophers are motivated by a search for the truth but if scientists are searching for "truth" (questionable) it's only in relation to natural phenomena. Secondly, I hear this claim about religion made all the time but can you actually demonstrate it? Third, why could we not say the same with far greater justification about philosophy? Marxism in all its manifestations, fascism and nationalism all fit your description far better than any of the world's great transcendent religions. How could possibly overlook that without wanting to?
Religion and government have certainly worked in tandem at times. This was often for good but regardless...since the dawn of time? Religion predates all forms of government and has been characteristic of human societies as long as there have been people.
No rush. Take your time.

All good thoughts. I'm looking forward to the day when I can think about this with that kind of peacefulness. I'm not feeling "angsty" about it. Mostly just trying to get to the bottom of -- why it stings when I see them together.
Just for fun. What if I said, "The deep study of any religion will ultimately lead to psychology."

You follow a philosophy, and believe in a religion.
But no one ever shoved a sword through someone's gut over a philosophy.
It takes a fanatical belief to do that.
