I think the rest of your segment is fine but this part is a little bit misleading. Unlike religion where there is no concrete evidence evidence for or against it; there is concrete evidence against a flat earth model. Religious people are choosing to believe in an abstract concept that cannot be proven either way, while flat-earthers are just ignorant on science. So while the burden of proof is on the religious, and comparing modern religion to mythologies and fables might be valid, I think religion is in a separate category from flat earth theorists and it's not really fair to conflate the two.
Although I suppose you could successfully argue that the hyper religious act in the same manner as flat-earthers; completely certain in their beliefs and closed off to any criticisms.
