    I’ve been saying for years this is literal training for anti-intellectualism and ultimately fascism and hate. As soon as you can convince yourself to believe something just because someone said to without any evidence or even contrary evidence, you’re primed to start doing that in other areas of your life. Grifters and fascists will absolutely take advantage of people like that without a second thought, and they scream their propaganda all over Fox news. Religion is more than just some stupid bullshit people believe, it’s a threat to democracy and freedom.

      Absolutely.

      Blind faith is an incredibly dangerous habit.

      It’s crazy that we accept it as a normal human variation.
