No, 'scientism' is a separate concept from science, look it up. And no, I am not afraid of believing in the reality of things that fall outside of the scope of scientism or even what is measurable. 
One can't hear the Holy Spirit clearly when there is pride attached and a belief system that has been a product of the Devil's machinations, materialism is one of his favorites. I can't prove the Holy Spirit to you scientifically, but it still imparts divine wisdom, knowledge and discernment, which is critical, because the evil forces are not just fooling around.

Okay. So that's obviously not the one to worry about.
I'm not even asking for proof of the Holy Spirit. Just that your nonsense and misconceptions about the word ritual will objectively and uniquely cause issues that aren't purely psychological.

What do you think freemasonic rituals are then? Fun little contemplative exercises to satiate curiosity or something?

Kinda, yea. They're lectures and memory aids just to lay out points of consideration and hammering it with repetition.
It's like the intellectual version of practicing a tennis swing.

Hammering something with repetition induces a trance-like state, where you are more open to spirits. You probably think all the pagan stuff is just there for fun, do you.

Not that much repetition, and no it doesn't. 
Unless you think post-it-note reminders are a tool of some devil as well.
