        Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or information.

        What OP was referring to would be delusion.

        They have knowledge and information but choose to believe something else.

            It’s not bigoted to say religious people have no proof. Belief without proof is the definition of faith.

            It’s also not bigoted to say religion has a high kill count. Religion has been a major factor in wars and straight up murders since the beginning…

        “Belief without proof” is the literal definition of faith, but it goes hand in hand with ignorance.

            But proof is always available if you know where to look, and that comes from education. The more educated you are, the less faith you have, and the more confidence you gain from our collective empirical experience. Nobody’s claiming anything else here. I know the mind is flawed.

            I make decisions on my past experiences and then adjust if things change. If people are just doing things without proof, then we just found the problem now, didn’t we?

      No that’s malaria but go ahead and show how angry you are that your mommy wouldn’t let you bring your PSP to church
