I blame it on cable news.
People are so focused on 'winning' every discussion, you can't have an actual discussion.
I think a lot of folks have their self-worth tied pretty heavily to the idea that their beliefs make them better than other people, and that's the purpose of many of these faux discussions.
The reality, of course, is that if this were 1957, we'd all likely be more religious than MK. And we'd probably be racist too. Our beliefs are primarily a coincidence of our times rather than some indication of superior intelligence.
