Although other people have made similar comments, I will further elaborate on how people usually do not question their beliefs. It is every one not just religious people, who fail to question their beliefs. We rarely have reason to think that alternate ideas to our own might be better. If we questioned literally everything, it would slow us down a lot. It makes life easier to just use leaps of faith and fuzzy logic.

Edit: I just realized that my signature is a little awkward in here as it asks people to join my satirical guild when I am in a guild forum

I agree fully.
Not even the thing that is said to be based on questioning, Science itself, is free from frequent lack of questioning, and it gets even worse in the schools where things are taught as truths, that later may be defined false ...
Point in case: Pluto.

However, the place where un-questioning probably has wreaked the most havoc, is really in politics ...
To bring it partially back to religion, that is often accused of replacing politics, then i ask, what is ideologies but religions in disguise?

right! look at the nations of Germany and Russia in WWII; they were motivated just as much by ideology as other warring nations have been motivated by religion.

Why only take those examples? Much of USA's politics of today is still founded on the "Mcarthy-ism", and that is still only extremes:
Political demagouges rises emotions as if they were preachers, way too often ignoring facts and truths unless they are proper for the message.

This is too often put into practice as well......
Ideologies and politics may say one thing, but reality easily proves them wrong ...
