The existence of every religious cult requires the brainwashing of children long before they are able to think for themselves. The victims learn how to not think, not wonder why, and not question sacred beliefs (aka bullshit).
All the curiosity children are born with is sucked out of them. Curiosity is what makes scientific progress possible. The victims learn how to throw out science especially when the science conflicts with their religious fantasies.
This child abuse is legal even though it often causes incurable brain damage. There is no excuse for this child abuse and it should never tolerated.
The solution is competent science education, especially evolution, starting at a very young age before brain damage makes thinking impossible.
The problem in Idiot America is most science education either doesn't exist or it's very incompetent. The students learn nothing except how to hate science because they think it's boring. Our Christian assholes love incompetent science education. They certainly would not complain about it.
Thousands of American students get their education from religious schools where they learn about ridiculous fantasies like the magical creation of species. The victims learn how to be insane.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
