Exactly.

My biggest issue with religion (aside from certain actions by the Catholic church) is that it teaches people not only to be satisfied with an incomplete understanding of life, but to take pride in such a stance.

A stubborn refusal to ask questions and seek answers is detrimental to intellectual development.
