That's very true. Good point. If, your premise is christianity, and you try to make sense of the world around you, basing your critical thinking off of that book, then the logic isn't all that great, in my opinion. If you are capable of throwing that completely to the side, keeping it in the house or church, then that's not too bad. Although, most christians, can't seem to completely grasp that concept.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
