Are they really all that different? I hear atheists claiming that theists are indoctrinated with the belief in God, through religion.
Well then, are atheists indoctrinated with values from the Age of Enlightenment, through schools?
What's the difference?
The Age of Enlightenment (or simply the Enlightenment) is the era in Western philosophy and intellectual, scientific, and cultural life, centered upon the 18th century, in which reason was advocated as the primary source for legitimacy and authority.

Sure, education teaches you to think, in a very structured and disciplined way.
Would you say that in general, creative thought is a major emphasis in education?
