As someone who followed a major religion for many, many years, I can say it never discouraged questions,and never "expressly" (or implicitly) required anyone to leave any brains at the door. Discussion, debate, asking awkward questions was thr order of the day.

It's a popular secularist myth, no doubt, but speaking personally some of the most closeminded,, unquestioning, most stolidly certain of their own correctness people I have ever met were militant atheists. Not to mention mind bendingly smug.

Wow. I guess the first 19 years of my life was a secularist myth, then. Thanks, douchebag.

There's no need to start calling people names.

Nice tone argument, dipshit.

Just because your parents apparently sucked, doesn't make it the fault of a belief system that places a high value on reason and knowledge.

[(Anonymous)]

Religion doesn't place any value on reason or knowledge. If it did, we wouldn't still be having fights about whether to teach evolution in public school, or trying to fudge science to support the religious version of the world.

What you just described are views of extremist Christians. Not all religious groups are the same. In fact, the Quran supports knowledge and logic. http://misconceptions-about-islam.com/religion-science-reason-compatible.htm

You're right. Islam is worse in its extremism. This is the religion that makes women marry their rapists or be killed for their family's "honor."

Yay! What do I need to get 4 points? =D

What the actual fuck? "Religion" doesn't place any value on reason and knowledge? I can think of several off the top of my head.

Catholicism explicitly names reason and education as important, which is why it sets up so many schools, why monks and nuns spent their whole lives copying ancient manuscripts throughout the middle ages, why so much of modern science is derived from work and theories springing from Catholic priests and monks, why the Catholic Church established universities throughout Europe, why it has so many philosophers among the named saints, and so on.

Most forms of Judaism, as far as I know, place a very high value on reason and knowledge.

Many forms of Islam, at least the most popular when Europe was going through the collapse that required all those monks and nuns to spend their lives preserving ancient knowledge, value reason and knowledge, hence all the work on maths and science that produced things like the Arabic number system and the algebraist methods of calculating that you probably learnt in school. It is unfortunate that other schools of Islam have become so prominent.

Anyone want to chime in with some more?

Oh, and if you're going to pull in evolution, do you know who Gregor Mendel is, the one that Mendelian Genetics is named for?

Age of the universe: who came up with the Big Bang Theory?

The only things Catholic schools teach you are how to give blowjobs in the bathroom to preserve your virginity, and why you should feel terrible for doing it.
