You're right that the phrase "psuedo-science lies" is directed at the arguments Tony Perkins is making which (as Joe Solemnese points out in the linked article) contradicted the scientific findings of the American Psychiatric Association and American Psychological Association.

It isn't clear from this article if you are calling the findings of both the American Psychological Association and American Psychiatric Association "pseudo-science lies", or if that term was aimed at Tony Perkins and his Family "Research" Council. It's never been clear exactly WHAT "research" the Council has ever engaged in at all. They seem merely to spout/repeat their harmful, hateful (imo) religious beliefs (speaking of "pseudo-science"!). I have to, then, agree with your conclusion: "it's not hard to see why some might look at religion suspiciously". DO BETTER! Hmmm.
