@sheapard "we are rational thinkers at this very best modern age, and I kinda like hold not to take religion as the culprit."
Let's see if that's true
(THE NOT RELIGIOUS)
93% of all astrophysicists don't believe in god and the rest are either agnostic abd there might be 1-3% that are actually religious
80% of biology professors do not believe in god and the rest are either agnostic and there might be 3-6% that are actually religious
(THE RELIGIOUS)
Let's take a very modern country like American for example
Because Christian Christianism teaches that the earth is less than 10000 years old (it's actually 4,5 billion years old according to science) and the adam and eve story (of course that's not true since all life evolved from other animals and we evolved from earlier apes and we technically are classified as neo(new) apesl
60% of Americans don't believe in religion because of evolution
45% believe that we lived with dinosaurs because if we didn't then the earth wouldn't be 6000 years old since as taught in Christianity
And a lot of Christians don't believe in the big bang because if it is true then the world wouldn't have been created in 6 days.
I THINK IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT RELIGION CAUSES PEOPLE TO BEHAVE IRRATIONALLY
