I'm saying because religions and religious concepts are always misrepresenting reality with imaginary things like souls, spirits, gods, sins etc. so they're working as a perfect obstacle between a person and the truth. Religious concepts are indeed compelling and attractive, and once you entertain them, the truth can't compete with them.
Isn't so much more difficult to teach real science to a Creationist that to somebody who hasn't been religiously indoctrinated? Nevertheless the intellectual process goes like this: blank slate, religious indoctrination, [and if the person gets lucky, will snap out of their indoctrination to embrace science and therefore reality]. Now, the latter doesn't always happens, but would be the ideal.
Don't you see religion as one more obstacle to overcome, when it comes to real education? In order to teach people real science, shall we always have to be snapping people outta of their indoctrination first?
