Pinkie's "ability" isn't religious or magical, it's primitive empiricism. Her reasoning is sound; "whenever X happens, Y is the result. These must exist in a causal relationship, ie, if X happens, I should expect Y." It's just that the cause of X itself has not been measured and can't be explained. The reason Twilight didn't like it is because she felt threatened by Pinkie being special / employing a method she could not, herself, duplicate. The phrasing in the show may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's really not worth getting up in arms about (so kudos to macromaker).

Especially since there was already an episode about science beating superstition. You know, the Zecora one.

Anon 1, thank you! Finally someone other than myself who gets it, even though the communication of the message in the show didn't convey well. It's shows how truly clueless the mindless masses can be sometimes (if not more than sometimes).

Yup -- kinda like quantization of energy, circa 1912; purely phenomenological. Clearly it WORKS, we just don't know how or why!
