even from a purely consistency-based standpoint (the bare minimum criterion of any epistemology), it is epistemologically nonsensical to let a religion decide some aspects you believe but not others
either there are no bounds and your religion should define everything you believe (which is untenable for many reasons, even ignoring the basic fact that religions are dogmatic by definition), or it should have no effect at all (i.e., you should not actually be religious, the only option aligned with reality)
