Religion didn't brainwash ANYONE in their childhood and neither did their parents or whatever but it can either be Institution's influence. Saying Institution = Religion makes you close-minded person, and I myself am not Religious because of family (they're all atheists) or whatever but because I didn't want to be as one-sided back then, and it was at first psychosocial motive at first but then it gets into historical, even scientifical, curiousity etc. Many people just reject to know more about it because of the things Institution (Church) did in the past which I do not support. But by studying the connection between 1 religion and the historical side a bit more you see the real charm of it which you can reject or either accept it and Maddolis I doubt some known scientists were particularly gullible.There are parents who brainwash their children, don't say that there are none. Oh, and well-known scientists from the late Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque don't count.
