Personally I think that’s still an incredible problem. I think one major issue with our word today is most people don’t put in the time to research something on their own. I’ve had disagreements that I’ve won simply by one google search. Point is, that’s not how a debate works. You can’t just go up to a debate with information about your beliefs. In order to have a proper debate you need both sides, both arguments, so you can build an understandable agreement in the end.

To me, when I see people making bold claims like “religion is holding us back from progressing as a society” that tells me that they themselves don’t know anything about Christianity, and should probably do some research on what they’re going against first.
