MODERATORS
They are taught about it from childhood and many of us don't questions stuff we've learnt in our childhood.
Education fails to instil scientific temper in them
Lack of proper mental health awareness and support.
Islam used to be the forefront of scientific and mathematical discovery. Believing in god have nothing to do with science or math, it's superstition, something that cannot be proven or unproven, it's that irrational thought that make us human.
People of all religions have contributed to scientific growth.
The average religious person and the person discovering scientific/mathematical stuff are generally different tho.
Universal basic education has gained focus in many parts of the world, only relatively recently.
I think improved scientific temper would obviously clash with many mainstresm religions.
Presence of some supreme creator may not be proven or disproven, but I think the anti-evolution stuff and similar things in most mainstream religions would face more questions when scientific temper improves.
And I'm not saying that non-religious people are safe from similar stuff too. Just that it is easily spread and maintained when you have a community on it.
And religions can evolve with this (or die from declining membership), as long as the leaders don’t stick to the “These actually scientifically proven facts are lies sent by the Devil” line.
