Religion's affect outside of religion

[Heat]

Many people know that religious people hardly question their religious beliefs, and their rationality is skewed when it comes to their faith.


I think fewer understand just how much it effects the rationality and logical thinking outside of the religion though, here's why a majority of believers cannot leave their faith out of their daily lives. Many people think that some people can leave their faith out of how they go about their daily life. Here is why i disagree:

We all know many people are taught religion as truth from a very young age so they develop a bias toward it. That's only one piece of the puzzle though. When you are taught religion as the truth from an early age, you also develop a distrust of science as well. Science says your wrong, you are probably more likely to believe you are right(unless you research it, which most people aren't interested in).

This distrust of science extends far beyond your religion. I mean, if you don't believe me, go watch an online conspiracy video, I can garuntee you the base of the argument starts with not trusting what scientists tell us is true. I was recently watching "Flat earth proof" videos(which were hilarious btw) and as I was thinking about it, it dawned on me that even though this has nothing to do with religion, it all came back to religion. 


This is why religion will almost certainly effect every believer even when they try to leave it out of their lives - [What I mean by this is the people who very casually say they "believe in god" with a very broad concept, who dont go to church or read scripture, who don't try to justify information with their religion]. These people will always come back to "well they are wrong about ___" and end up, even if mildly, not really accepting what scientists say outside of religon(basically anything) as fact, or having a harder time accepting things as fact.

So... You believe religious people distrust 'science' because of faith in God? Here a thought, maybe people distrust 'science' because it is so often wrong! Maybe it hard to take- something as absolute truth when every couple of years that 'truth' changes.

No to mention those who believe in God who have no issue revsolving whatever the current 'science' says with belief in God. After all the only reason the two have to be at odds with each other is if one holds the belief God and everything he does has to remain unexplainable. Rather looking at the triviality of 'science' as man's feeble attempt to Phathom how God works. (Which explains why it is ever changing)

Thank you for essentially proving my point. You are the perfect example.

Tell me, if you have no evidence that god exists and science(the people who's jobs it is to study the natural world) say you are wrong, why do you believe in god?

If you have no reason to believe in god, why do you? The people who have come to terms with there being no proof for god, don't do it because they don't want a god to exist. Truth is you have an everlasting need to have an answer, and when science can't provide one you turn to "magic" which can pretty much explain anything you want it to. It's an irrational, non evidence based belief, and you should be the poster child for religious woo-woo because you have just openly told me "Science is wrong because it's wrong, god exists because we have no other way of explaining the universe. science is wrong because god is true and you cant understand god because god" just to sum it up.
