And as more and more people learn to think critically, more and more people will question god. More and more people will ultimately come to the understanding that there's no reason for belief in god, because it is a fairy tale.
Is there any way to determine whether college grads are really better at critical thinking? I mean, these days you can major in hotel management and all kinds of stuff. I used to think that Harvard grads would be way smart, until I met a few Harvard grads.
And other than an assumption that clear thinkers will agree with us, do we have any solid data on whether more critical thinking leads to more atheism? There could be other factors as to why people leave religion, including socialization, etc.
Clear thinking demands that we not jump to any conclusions here.
