At times it does appear to be a religion because of the cult of personality that proliferates (remember the Greenspan years?) and, most significantly, the blind faith and slavish devotion to free markets being a solution to everything. What I find most off-putting are those who advocate for wholesale changes in our society on little more than hypothesis and faith instead of running experiments starting at the smallest reasonable scale and then successively working your way up from that. It should at least pretend to try to applying basic scientific methodologies to its practice.Psychology has evolved to being a rigorous, evidence based social science. That psychology is not one of the foundations of studying economics is also problematic too.
