Business or religion, there is is a huge difference between marketing and education. Marketing is when you sell something, education is when you let people think for themselves.
If you think religion is any different than business, forget it. If you sell a product, or god, and the person you are trying to peddle it to doesn't understand it is far more likely to reject it. But if you can sell it to them by convincing them their lives will be better with it, they are going to be more open to it.
The "education" of religion, isn't to promote independent thought, but to create sales people for the product.
If I want to move up in an oil company and expand sales, they educate me to promote the product. That is not the same as teaching someone to think for themselves, it is just teaching them to be a sales person. That is the same for any religion, or business.
The renaissance and age of enlightenment did not happen because of religion, but in spite of religion.
Yea and while you are questioning my logic, I think you do also know that Cuba is still a Catholic majority country.
