The title says it all.
Are the religious of the world more selfish/self absorbed than others?
My experience has taught me that it is so. Their whole worldview as that their lives are a wreck adn this mysterious but benevolent Deity cares about them and their lives.
Their whole worldview is centered on their relationship with Him and His plan for them.
I don't know if this is the case, but if that is ones worldview, ones cares/concerns for other people and things are limited. Why is it that so few religious people are concerned about the rainforest or the plight of the Kurds/Palestinians what have you. It doesn't relate terribly to their loving relationship.
Idk if religion makes people selfish, but I think it makes them uncurious. They have it all figured out so to speak (their thinking is done for them) so they don't care about causes or people that are different.
Just my two cents.
