It’s mindblowing to me how little people actually seem to care about evaluating the evidence for any claim. I saw an anti-vax Facebook post recently that proudly proclaimed, ‘‘_I don’t care if it’s true, I will never get my children vaccinated!_’’ > > Wha…? 😕 How is it even possible not to care if something’s true? Because America is a deeply religious country, and that attitude is a _necessity_ for taking religion seriously in the modern work. People complain about him but Richard Dawkins had a point when he said that one of the reasons religion is inherently destructive is because the habits of thought needed to support it cause bad judgement everywhere else too. A society that admires faith is _by definition_ a society that admires not caring if something is true. That person on Facebook \*has faith \*that vaccines cause autism, and she’s almost certainly been raised her whole life to think of faith as good. For that matter, much the same way so many of Trump’s followers _have faith_ that he’s going to do whatever they fantasize that he’s going to do. Despite the lack of any evidence whatsoever. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428)._
