Usually with examples that don't have anything to do with evolution.
when you're following religion, you focus on things you can't see. when you rid your life of religion, you finally focus on the things you can see, and reality becomes the most important thing.
i remember defending all kinds of strange concepts when i was a christian, and it feels so much better to base all of my reality on...well, reality, now.
But just chiming in to say, i understand how it happens ...how religious people cling to concepts and ideas that have no basis in reality.
