Q&A 3, Second Answer

My question is: Are there some naturalistic or superalnaturalistic viewpoints which this-world empiricism would actually contradict?

I think there are, but they are relatively few in number. Only theological viewpoints characterised by extremism or fanaticism, I believe, teach that this-world empiricism is definitively a lie. Some teach that one cannot know whether one's senses deceive one or not, but they at least leave the option open that one could be correct about what one perceives. For example, a person who believes in the existence of ghosts might think that a ghost constantly hovers above their head. According to them, however, the ghost is insubstantial, confined to a plane of existence other than this one. Thus, their belief does not contradict this-world empiricism, which simply says that the air above their head appears to be empty, a statement with which they would agree. An example of a statement which would actively contradict this-world empiricism would be if the aforementioned person claimed that the ghost above their head was quite substantial and visible, and everyone could see it.
