I am referring to how certain religious ideas close people's minds and prevent them from seeing obvious truths, or seeing things from multiple points of view.
Religion, particularly a lot of members from the Abrahamic religions (that I see), seem to have a big problem when it comes to understanding the world from multiple points of view. They see black and white when it comes to certain issues.
It seems obvious that certain issues, such as gay, or transgender issues have a scientific explanation for happening. Yet religion seems to hinder people's acceptance of these things because they aren't keeping an open mind. They are not allowing enough information to be passed through their wall of _________.
Most people within the fences of religion see it as a source of love and tolerance, and that might be mostly true. But how do we help those who are victims of ignorance?
