Why are highly educated people often religious?

This is something that comes up a lot. Rocket scientists doing puja before launch, doctors worshipping gods before surgery, engineers praying to keep buildings standing. And then there is the narrative that in order to rid society of superstition, we need to educate people more. Will this actually solve anything? If not, what will? We will try to figure this out in this live stream. Support the channel at vimoh.stck.me/...

Mathematician Ramanujan was very apprehensive about going to England because of his deep Hindu religious superstition about crossing the sea ! He performed many special poojas when he ultimately decided to go !

25:08 make more content on Arts education in India. I see many people looking down on the courses offered in humanities and calling it a poor career choice.

What you described as the identity crisis, fighting the emptiness and coming out better on the other end. That is a spiritual process in my view.

When u want people to divert from religion to science. People have mind and emotion, anger , sadness,pain and all this is illogical but people have this. U can't talk science law in front of person who is in depression or sad. U need to something which deal with psycological problem.

Education is very important but it is not the only thing we need to become rational. Like you said childhood indoctrination play a huge role in people lives, at the same time we are always taught that we should always listen to our parents and never question them, if we do then we are bad children. Naturally we also love and attached to them emotionally and want to please them and fear them so nobody ever question religion or god. I remember when I was a theist I always questioned the religious practices/tradition but never the religion or god itself. And we all are so busy in our lives, people don't have this much time to think about this stuff deeply. We just try to make sense out of those nonsensical traditions and just go to our daily lives.

Simple. Education does not start at the level of graduate institutes and doesn’t just come from colleges. By the time you go to college, even “prestigious institutes”, you’re already 17-19. That’s almost two decades of the formative years of your life. Where you were raised, what your parents’/siblings’ views and beliefs were, what school you went to, what educational resources you had at your disposal, what your friends’ group’s influences are, your life experiences, the jobs you have done, where you have travelled, the books you’ve read, the media you consume and your own personal inclinations all matter. When those things go wrong, it doesn’t matter whether you can rapidly solve objective bits which ask “a stick is cut at two points, find the probability that the pieces form a triangle” or “find the integral of (x^2+5x+4)^(1/2)” or even learn to fly a plane, do an appendectomy or become a lawyer. You will still be a crank, attract more of the same demographic and make the lives of others miserable especially now that you have degrees and powerful positions. Plenty of examples can be seen in our society and on the Indian side of social media.

Then why some people become atheist easily even they have gone through the same childhood indoctrination?

@@vimohlive That means our brain plays a significant role in this case. Me and my brother has grown up in same indoctrination implanted by our parents but I have became an atheist and my brother also do not believe in many superstition but still have a strong faith on God.

"Survival of fittest" obsessed people like Mohit, I would reuqest you to google, *Sociological perspectives* . Just like religion doesn't go from majority's lives because of indoctrination of only one kind of thing that is religion of your family, even we are given education mostly on "Functionalist thought process given by functionalist thinkers like Herbert Spencer etc" , and we are not taught about other thinkers like Conflict Theorists (Karl Marx), Post modernists, Structuralists etc. .........."Also would like you to question, who is *we* when you say, *we* in we do things according to survival etc

The name of your account is "science is my life" and you still Don't understand that no one is sure that God doesn't exist. No one is claiming that "God doesn't exist". The claim comes from Theists who claim that "God exists" but then don't give any evidence for their claim. If there is no evidence for God so far there is no reason to believe in such an entity. It is a waste of time to pray to God who doesn't even answer.
