What’s materially different about a God-based religion and the science-centered rationality cult? Other than our miracles actually being real, that is.
I almost said “verifiably real”, but therein lies the crux of the issue. A religion is basically a foundational system of beliefs, and a framework for constructing new beliefs. That includes even how you verify the truthfulness of statements. Blanket calling religion of all sorts ‘stupidly’ is oversimplifying the situation, to say the least.
The post doesn’t say that all religion is stupidity. It says that one of the things we cal stupidity is subconscious conditioning, and one of the common case of such conditioning is religion. A subset of religion and a subset of stupidity, intersecting. Do you think that’s wrong?
