Fundamentalism needs people who are easily frightened and easily convinced, these two conditions require a lack of education. Like a lion standing in a herd of gazelles all born without the ability to run, fundamentalism finds itself in a propitious place when education declines.

domicile education is to no longer blame. I homeschool my 2 little ones and my stepdaughter. My 15 year previous will graduate next year and speaks 3 languages. My 11 year previous speaks 3 languages and excels in historical historic previous and technology. My 18 month previous can perceive each and all of the letters, numbers a million-10, shapes, colorings and is developmentally on par with 24-36month previous little ones. She is simutaneously gaining knowledge of english and italian. I homeschool because of the fact the US training equipment is christianized and so some distance under worldwide standards that's ridiculous. they have been "dumbing us down" for years. The stupid are undemanding to administration. The non secular are undemanding to administration. on your examining exhilaration please see: "Dumbing us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Public education" by way of John Taylor Gatto

Fundamentalist extremism relies on people being more gullible and easier to sway to a particular path of belief, which is usually the belief of whoever the political leaders are.

Because when people are ignorant and lack the abilties to reason and see the endless possibiliees out there for them to pursue their ambitions, it is MUCH easier to control their thoughts and limit their thinking to just ONE principle.
