Yes, that is a possibility.

I think the kind of beliefs that most people object to most vehemently on the basis of logic are those really old beliefs which appear to have been completely invalidated and left behind by the advances of science and present bodies of knowledge. That's certainly something I would object to in religion, but it happens mostly just because people cling tenaciously to anything they are culturally familiar with. It's part of their own "identity", so they defend it. That's where their emotional defense mechanisms come into play.

Every nation seems to have a whole set of popular mythology or belief that drives it.

religious mythology
political mythology
economic mythology
cultural mythology
medical mythology
gender-based mythology
historical mythology
and EVEN scientific mythology

It's endless. ;-) I take issue with most of it whenever I feel it has become illusory, delusional or in some way harmful to people. It all tends to be based around the idea that "our way is best" and "we are number one".

The aspects of Christianity, for instance, that annoy me the most are the very strong focus on "sin" and guilt, the sexual repression, the male-dominated view of society, and the idea that Jesus died as a ransom for people's sins. Nor can I relate to the idea of "God" punishing anyone. I can't go for any of that stuff. But that's what I see as the "dark side" of Christianity. I very much like what I see on the "light side" of Christianity, and most of that can be found in the ideals that Jesus demonstrated through his own (reputed) conduct which was loving, kind, and merciful. That side of the religion I admire.

But, hey! How did we get onto all this stuff, anyway? ;-) I thought we were trying to figure out who to blame for everything after the present lot of political leaders are gone.
