This is a huge point that I feel does not get addressed or discussed enough and is the source of so much frustration when dealing with religious people.
Once you accept the fact you're speaking with someone who thinks incantations and exorcisms are real you realize they're not willing to do the least bit of work to understand how our world works. They deny undisputable scientific fact at the same time they explain away child rape.
But we're expected to respect their beliefs and support them with our tax dollars as they indoctrinate their children with the same wackiness.
