I think this double-dipping poster is using language unusual for us, but he is looking at reasonable issues.

It is reasonable to consider “religiosity” and where it is done right or wrong way. As R Berel Wein writes – world is better of when Jews are religious, and non-Jews are not and worse of when it is other way around. Meaning when non-jews are “religious”, they destroy things in the name of their religion, and non-religious Jews “leave no place for other nations” (Beitzah 25b). Similarly, we have a notion that after BM1, both nevuah and avoda zorah left – these ideas are connected.

So, we should definitely continue checking ourselves, as baalei mussar suggest, that we are doing it the right way. As the story of students of R Akiva indicates, it is possible to do it the wrong way .. and so do many CR posts.
