We might, by studying the human brain, figure out that as it functions it starts philosophizing and asking "why", even generating religious ideas. To me that would be enough to demystify and explain them away in a scientific (and falsifiable) way. In this sense, philosophy, religion, and science itself is subject to empirical examination. That's also what i meant by "expanding to the other realm", i mean using brain research to explain the biological basis behind major philosophical concepts such as free will [1].
