Excellent post! Yes, I can agree with how this applies to modern religion on TV verses getting your butt in the pew on Sundays.
But I’d submit this applies across the board to everything from our history to understanding the Constitution.
I recall in school being taught something call, ‘critical thinking skills.’ I do not believe those skills are taught any longer.

They’re still being taught. Rather, something called “critical thinking skills” are being taught, but it is more like “critical acceptance skills” where they show the student what to think and then demand that they change their mind to accept that.
