Yes, and it is a moderate move. A biomedical engineer already covers 74% of what a religion scientific researcher is expected to do: 33 skills carry over, 31 of which the religion scientific researcher role treats as required.

4 required skills are missing, plus 21 optional ones. They fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by arts and humanities. The single most important is history of theology.

Its learning distance is 35.7 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
