Religious people find it harder to understand the world – study

RE: Religious people find it harder to understand the world – study
So there you go another news which claims "American students have strides to make when it comes to math and science, where they lag behind a solid block of East Asian countries as well as Russia and Kazakhstan."

Yeah, even Kazakhstan - you know a country that's apparently such a joke of backwardness that even Borat is from there. Well that's what you get when during science class students watch films by Kirk Cameron. The worst thing is that many Christians see this as a good thing, because those heathens are good at their heathen sciences.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
