In an increasingly disinformed society, where information overload, propaganda and the deliberate dissemination of misinformation are widespread, it is becoming increasingly difficult to verify the truth. This is ultimately linked to the unsatisfactory level of education of citizens
It is important to recognise that citizens are neither willing nor educated enough to check information for its factual content.
In such a context, it is understandable that any information disseminated by popularly revered authority figures is presumed to be true as they are always seen as trusted. The simple view in us and them makes the whole thing even more fruitful for the political seducers.

People always talk about the Bible, and it's a fascinating topic! There is no single Bible, but rather a variety of translations and summaries of religious texts. It's called faith, not knowledge, and that's why it works! If you approach the subject of the Bible historically, you'll see a whole new world emerge.
Religions have always borrowed from each other. The Frenchman who deciphered the hieroglyphs was amazed to find that the ancient Egyptians had already carved parts of the Bible in stone before the Bible even existed!
As I said, believe instead of know!

Knowledge opens up to us a universal view of a universe; faith impregnates our view and our understanding of it.
