    I will add one more thing, it’s okay to be wrong

    The people who wrap up their world view under the cloak of religion can’t admit they were wrong because that would have to mean their faith was wrong.

      Not all of them. Islam has as one of its core tenets critical thinking. I tend to find the extremists of all religions to fail to reflect and admit wrong. I would agree the whole blind faith that alot of religions wrap their belief system with creates an environment that does not nurture critical thinking.

      So I would argue that its not every religion nor everyone who believes in one of the religions.

      I am an atheist btw I just have been interested in how religion or religions impacted critical thinking and have talked/ researched a few things.
