So what are factors that might contribute to the unlearning of learned biases, or ignoring biases that you're fed?
Ignroing can just be from a person's natural disposition. Some people are naturally more inquisitive than others and prefer to research things. Others just seem to naturally follow and do what they are told.
Both can happen from a counterpoint or an event that makes them realize that the idea they were fed or are being fed may not be true.
Yeah, those who don't want to learn, won't, and especially won't if it isn't required of them in some way. That's part of the reason why I support the idea of teaching about world religions in high school. Not as religious indoctrination, but so people aren't so darned ignorant of the varieties of belief. Besides, then those Creationists would have an appropriate forum for their ideas and maybe they'd be happier?
I agree with you that religion should be taught in high schools. I don't see the idea getting much support anytime soon though. So many people view education as indoctrination.
