Religion has a vested interest in discouraging critical thinking.

"Christianity

The belief that some cosmic, Jewish zombie can make you live forever  
if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you  
accept him as your master so he can remove an evil force from your  
soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by  
a talking snake to eat from a magical tree."

Religion advocates use all the dirty tricks in the debating manual to  
promote their filthy disgusting lies. And they overcome their hatred  
for each other to  band together to attack rationality since it  
threatens them all.

Brotherhood of con-men Maru.
