'Difficult to be unbeliever in religious India': From an atheist

[RussBLib]

3. "Once you acquire some basic science education, religious explanations look positively primitive"

And so the GOP's resistance to any and all things science makes sense. They desperately desire to keep people in the dark ages and fearful of the unknown.

And so we see our nation having a bit of a religious resurgence, while we see our education system deteriorating and failing many kids. The two things are connected.

I can only imagine the internal struggles that freethinkers in countries like India face. If not for the internet, we would probably never know of them, nor would they know that millions of others out there are of like mind.
