How are you sure that philosphy and religion has no criteria at all (which I feel is what you really want to say) or lacks criteria? In short what is your criterion (or criteria - if you have more then one) to make such an assertion?
To discard philosophy and religion like that just because a person doesn't understand everything about them seems a lack of understand on the part of the discarder. Not all religions are the same, and it's just an umbrella term that encompasses a whole wide range of divergent religious beliefs, so it is a bit unfair to make a blanket statement about all religions. Knowing more about religion then modern philosophy and I can not say I totally disagree with your snide remark about philosophy having no criteria, but I am sure most students of philosophy believe they have criteria if they can only comphrehend it. The reason modern philosphy fails so often is the it notoriously violates "lex parsimoniae" and thus rendering incomprehenisble to average person.
