My goodness. Quantum physics may just as well be written in sanskrit to me.
I find religion complex in the way of a person with a degree in Social Anthropology.
Of course I'm sure it isn't always complex. It's just that so far that's how it has turned out to be with the religions I've actually studied. They include aspects of Islam and Hinduism as well as some time studying Australian aborigine mythology and present day culture..
I think I'll stop here.
The reason why quantum mechanics is hard to understand is there is actually a real, measurable, but highly counterintuitive thing there to be understood.
The reason why religion is hard to understand is there is nothing whatsoever to understand, but whole lot of committed bullshitters make muturally conflicting crap up as they go, shout at you to follow their bullshit of the day, while making outlandish promises of rewards if you do, vile and not always vailed threats if you don’t.
equating quantum mechanics’ difficulties to understand with the “difficulties” of understanding religion is like equating the difficulties in reading great work of literature in a complex writting system in which you are not tutored, with the difficulties in reading shakespearean meaning into a crayon scratches of extremely overindulged 3 year old who claims what he scratched was the greatest of all literature.
