Religion is the opposite of learning - would you not agree with that? It trains you to take stupid fairytales for real as a dogma and not to question them and even feel horrible if you think about them skeptically.
Now, some may go through that relatively unscathed, but for the majority of people it is really debilitating for making sane rationalizations in life. Just recently, and unexpectedly, I had conversations with people who still believe in alchemy and they were convinced I am stupid because I don't take alchemy for granted. I mean did you know there were still people who are into alchemy?
Now, alchemists today may be a minority but you can't say the same about UFO people, alternative medicine, astrology enthusiasts, pyramid freaks - topics which will look like a nonsense if they just think little bit about it skeptically.
So do you not think that it is religious upbringing to blame?
