I get the feeling though that many times they're aware of their complacency and simply comfortable with staying that way. My wife, for instance, has said on more than one occasion that she is aware that her beliefs are probably not rational, but she doesn't really care to find out.
I mean, if that works for them and they're not shoving it in my face, I guess I can accept that, but I don't think it's always as simple as their brainwashed. They just don't really want to know if their beliefs are valid or not because of they comfort they receive.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
