Smart people can be delusional. My dad has a Ph.D. in chemistry and still considers himself a christian. When I ask him about how everything needs scientific evidence except his religion he gets extremely defensive, almost as if he knows he shouldn't believe but he still does. He just came from a time and place that religion wasn't questioned and everyone was religious. Many smart people can still be religious as intelligence doesn't necessarily imply someone is grounded in reality.
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
