TLDR: Some religious traditions have turned unwavering belief into a measure of moral character. Doubt is treated as weakness, skepticism as a spiritual danger, and loyalty to religious claims as evidence of righteousness. This reverses the principles of sound reasoning. The willingness to defend an unsupported belief is not an intellectual achievement, and certainty without…
TLDR: Accepting a claim without sufficient evidence is an intellectual error, regardless of how sincerely it is believed. Religious conviction, personal revelation, and inherited tradition cannot substitute for reliable evidence.
