They seem very willing to ignore substantial evidence that shows that Earth is more than 6,000 years old, for example.

As someone who was raised catholic but no longer practices, I don't think I have ever actually met someone who insisted the earth is only 6,000 years old...
To suggest that religious people lack critical thinking skills is pretty silly. I know plenty of professionals who practice one faith or another (and to one degree to another). Likewise, I have met people that practice religion who are bigoted and are just vile human-beings but that's probably just what you get when you look at any large group of people.
