But is that a good or a bad thing? Better than the masses being violent and barbaric...but then religion has barbaric elements unfortunately. The masses will never be able to think for themselves. A small proportion of the population are interesting (writers, artists, philosophers, teachers etc.) and can think and add to humanity and they will steer the herd. The masses are dumb...they don't read, they don't want to learn, they just go with passing fads and fashions.
Its not that I want anyone to be steered. But great thinkers have steered humanity, it happens naturally. I'd prefer people could think for themselves. But its obvious they can't.
When people are highly religious I think they are less intelligent.
