And the reason why people are having difficulties to understand are religions who are still influential and are keeping people away from knowledge.
Right now in Poland catholic church is spreading disgusting hate towards homosexuals where bishops and archbishops are calling homosexuals "a plague" and claim how they want to introduce "a dictatorship of minorities", and clergy is openly interfering with the presidential elections by fearmongering and telling lies.
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"
