If we accept this premise, isn't it then a choice if you believe in faith or in science?
Science isnt capable of making value judgements, it isnt a belief system complete with moral values; ideally you study science, dont believe it. Many of the greatest scientists of history were religious, there is no conflict. There is a conflict when people believe they can look to their intellectual leaders as a type of god, capable of determining the fates of others.

Yes, I agree. I experienced the opposite though:
Sometimes, people are so religious, they think this makes them a good person and they don't see that they are actually horrible persons, lol :)
Or I don't know where this comes from. It's just weird to be religious and be a horrible person since religion is all about trying to be a good person, no?
But then, why are they just so horrible to interact with? Like wanting to fight all the time? How does this make sense? I can only speculate: Do they think, it doesn't matter how horrible they are, they are going to get saved no matter what since they go to church every Sunday?
Biggest mystery to me, lol :)
I try to live my life like this: No one is going to save me, I have to save myself, lol :)
