We should be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are always going to be bad people standing by to abuse whatever -- there are also plenty of scams that shroud themselves in supposedly scientific fact, e.g. practically every single health and nutritional claim in consumer marketing. Certain health-nuts are building entire pseudo-religions around their supposedly scientific beliefs. I don't think it's correct to cordon off "truth" as being only that which can be empirically learned. That leaves us with phenomenon like true love and the self-evident truth that all men are created equal. If anything is in a separate realm, I'd argue it's scientific truth. That's not to demean it, rather it's a higher, superior realm.
