I've noticed the same thing myself. They have an inability to recognise that the world is not black and white. Particularly with morality, hence the constant harping on about objective morality and things being either good or evil.

And it's either one explanation or another.

I read once that if a religious zealot is highly educated then they'll probably be an engineer because they are used to thinking in terms of rules about what works and doesn't work.
