Несколько цитат:

You may have noticed that people who convert to religion after the age of 20 or so are generally more zealous than people who grew up with the same religion. People who grow up with a religion learn how to cope with its more inconvenient parts by partitioning them off, rationalizing them away, or forgetting about them. Religious communities actually protect their members from religion in one sense - they develop an unspoken consensus on which parts of their religion members can legitimately ignore. New converts sometimes try to actually do what their religion tells them to do.
...
How do we explain the blindness of people to a religion they grew up with?
...
Today, we worry about Islamic terrorists. A hundred years from now, we'll worry about Buddhist physicists.
...
The landscape of rationality is not smooth; there is no guarantee that removing one false belief will improve your reasoning instead of degrading it.
