Is it true that all creative geniuses hate organized religion?

Question

If so, why?

i'm talking about "modern day" creative geniuses, people like John Lennon, Charles Bukowski, Bob Dylan

Answer 1

No...I am acquainted with artists, authors, even an architect...they all follow one religion or another.

Answer 2

Two flaws in your question. By no means is there such thing as a class of genius. Also, the statement 'all creative geniuses hate organized religion' was thought up by a human being using some sort of statistic immediately rendering that statement fallible.

The answer is no. Although it has been seen that some 'geniuses' do reject religion; does not mean its true.

Answer 3

Einstein was Jewish and fled to America from Germany. John Lennon had a fascination with Eastern religions and many top scientists,mathematicians, engineers, are of the Hindu and Muslim religion. The basis of communism was
to hate organized religion and that was a dark seventy years for the people of The Soviet Union. That was creative but not genius at all.

Answer 4

LOL - Einstein was Jewish! And yes, he was a believer at up until the end of his life.

And remember: Michalangelo, Da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson (great and futuristic inventor), Edison, and so many others - were religious.

I suppose it is true also that some creative geniuses are anti organized religions too.

I don't think you can come to a conclusion to this subject one way or the other.

Answer 5

Far from it. Swinburne, who was a self-professed atheist, was actually agnostic. So was Verdi. Beethoven, Hart Crane, TS Eliot, Stravinsky and Blake were either believers or profoundly religious, even when that happened to be unconventional in the cases of Blake and Crane. And then there were Michelangelo, Dante etc. The list goes on and on. It is impossible to be a genius and not believe in higher human motivations on a cosmic or spritual level. Outright atheism is the exception, not the norm, at least as far as creative genius is concerned.

Answer 6

Unless one had spoken to all 'creative geniuses' or all of them had been asked, there's not any way to really know, is there? My guess would be "no" for the simple fact that rarely do all of one group feel the same or act in the same way about subjects not related to what they have in common.

Blanket statements are almost always incorrect...however I'd say that being a 'genius' in general would entail someone being smart enough to know that following any particular mythology doesn't make good sense.

Answer 7

no i dont hate it but dont follow it either i hate the government

seriously makesense cause genius could see thru fraud if there is any and creative people like to to do things their own way and ask questions like why all this suffering and not be satisfied with god works in mysterious ways

btw any question that seeks to speak for a large and diverse group will have a nehative answer. U will never find all of any group who think anything

Answer 8

Creative geniuses hate any thing that is organized.

They wouldn't attach themself in any group, but that doesn't mean that they don't share some similiar believes with some groups.

It's unlikely they would attach themself in any group (like 'save the Earth' group and so on), unless they were brainwashed or they weren't really that creative genius at all to begin with.

Answer 9

i might say sure, even though it relies upon on the style you define prepared faith. some people think of that any prepared congregation is prepared faith, than at that factor i might say you're in for slightly a war. I total-heartedly believe you that the popular recommendations of prepared faith are growing to be corrupt (Ted Haggert, Jim Baker), yet that doesn't make the congregation corrupt, basically lost. If people who're conscious walk away, they condemn their brothers and sisters to loss of life. Jesus never meant the Church to be an particularly political equipment or employer like we see with the Evangelical good or the Catholic Church. The physique of Christ exchange into meant to be a community of brothers and sisters helping one yet another, praying for one greater and worshiping together. Secluding your self does you no good. Like Jesus mentioned: "devil is a prey lion, waiting to pounce on those no longer conscious." in case you seclude your self from the physique, what risk-free practices do you have? i decide for to get engaged in a Non-denominational church. I additionally am speedy to furnish out my objections (which ought to consistently be subsidized by potential of scripture) whilst i think of a incorrect direction is being taken.

Answer 10

i think most modern day creative geniouses dislike organized religion because (no offense to anyone who is religios) but it is not very creative and it is kind of a stretch. the most creative, smartest people i know and i've heard of seem to kind of make up their own religion.

Answer 11

You can't lump all of any group together like that.

It is true that the more education you have, the more likely you are to not like organized religion and not believe in a supreme being.
