LabGrrl [LabNinja]: There is only one kind of irrationality as far as I am aware, religion doesn't get any special opt out from that.

Don't you ever come up with new material, rather than churning out the same question worded differently? The only thing that changes is the insulting vocabulary. But the condescending attitude is consistent.

Close. Some people have a misconception that science explains everything. So science has caused some to see irrationally. Once a person realizes that science cannot explain everything...for example, the origin of the Universe, then they realize there has to be something (or someone) greater. Like the Big Bang Theory. Where did the material come from that caused the bang? Science can't explain because it requires that something was in existance in the beginning without creation which is anti-science.

No. Some people just have a common sense about them that has nothing to do with a science education. Some people have a knowing and faith that science is at a loss to explain. Many so-called educated people, the ones that think that science provides all the answers, actually sound rather stupid when they try to explain and rationalize the mysterious realities of life.

A lack of scientific facts will leave people ill-equipped to think critically about certain issues, but a good education equips people to think logically about the information they encounter in life.

It depends on whether you are using a genuine definition of irrationality or a fradulent one.
If using a genuine one, yes.
If using irrationality as a buzzword for theism, then no.
Edit: Your statement addressed to me is a nonsequitur to my comments.

A classical education should be good enough. As long as you're reasonably intelligent, you can even educate yourself. Critical thinking -- logic -- is all you really need to analyze most claims.

Some people actively reject education on the false belief that ignorance equals faith. This is encouraged since such people are easily manipulated by their leaders.

No. In fact it is Satan's Science which is turning our children away from Jesus. We need to teach our children to reject science, and home school them if at all possible as long as our public skools are teaching them Satan's lies.
F.C is correct. science is stupid. Anyone who knows Jesus can see that.
