I'd agree to this if we also encouraged critical thinking about religious ideas.
I'm struck by how easily people may be persuaded of certain ideas without any evidence whatsoever, and yet all the scientific evidence in the world is insufficient to persuade them of the truth of evolution.
The double-standard is infuriating - a cynically adopted argument of convenience. They must realise that they're lying to themselves surely?
