Do Religious People Follow Their Religion Blindly?

Yes, we do follow it blindly.

All 7 billion of us “religious people” are just so incapable of intelligent thought, so devoid of critical thinking skills, that never once have we ever questioned anything about our beliefs, ever.

This is former President Barak Obama:

What you may not have known about Obama, is that he is a religious man. He has stated that he believes in a higher power, believes in a form of afterlife, and has spiritual beliefs. He was also so “blind” that he ended up graduating from Harvard and winning a Nobel Peace Prize.

This is Isaac Newton:

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, and genius, widely recognized as one of the greatest mathematicians and physicists of all time and among the most influential scientists in the world. His work profoundly changed our understanding of nature with his law of universal gravitation and his laws of motion; invented calculus; built the first ever reflecting telescope; showed sunlight is made of all the colors of the rainbow. He was also a theologian, and a devout Christian.

This is Georges Lemaître.

He was a mathematician, cosmologist and Catholic priest. He established that the universe is expanding because space is stretching, producing red-shifts in light arriving from distant galaxies and was the first person to derive Hubble’s law.

Just to put your remaining doubts to rest, here is a list of famous Christian scientists. If you are educated, you will most likely recognize the names on the list: Robert Boyle, Antoine Lavoisier, Leonhard Euler, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, Gregor Mendel, Arthur Compton, Ronald Fisher, Bernard Reimann, Charles Townes, Mary Anning, Willard Gibbs, John Dalton, Carl Frierch Gauss, Chalres Barkla, George Washington Carver, Francis Collins, Earnest Walton, Florence Nightingale, J. J. Thompson, Allesandro Volta, Blaise Pascal, Lord Kelvin, Charles Babbage, Warner Heisenberg, Albrecht Von Hallar, Nicolas Steno, Humphry Davy, Arthur Eddington, John Ambrose Fleming, Samuel Morse, John Eccles, and of course, Galileo.

As you can see, religion does nothing to impair a persons ability to think or reason.

So for the love of all that is holy, please stop treating “religious people” as if we are second class citizens, as if we are too stupid to function or think. We are no less intelligent than Atheists or Agnostics, and it is hateful as well as obviously untrue to suggest otherwise.
