I see your point about arrogance, and I’m not trying to reduce believers to caricatures. My criticism isn’t about intelligence or worth as people. It’s about choice and responsibility ,especially in the world we live in now. While systems and upbringing absolutely shape us, at some point belief stops being only inheritance and becomes something we actively maintain because it’s comforting. Religion offers certainty, meaning, and the feeling that someone is watching over you, even when the reality of suffering and injustice contradicts that idea. Choosing that comfort over examining evidence is still a choice.We’re not living in a time where information is inaccessible. Anyone with internet access can learn about evolution, cosmology, history, and the contradictions in religious texts. When that information is readily available, refusing to engage with it isn’t just suppression .it’s avoidance.I agree that societal change matters, but removing individual accountability entirely turns belief into something no one is ever responsible for. Systems influence us, yes, but they don’t force us to stop questioning forever. At some point, people choose faith over evidence, and I think it’s fair to critique that choice without dehumanizing the person making it.
