“Does church make people appear more trustworthy?”
Or are people who believe in religion just gullible and naive?
===================================
Actually the answer is yes to both, and I am a christian. However the answer is yes not because they are religious but because they are human. This is part of the human existence to want to believe that they are a part of something great. Mentally speaking the phenomena is not much different than poverty pimps or extreme animal rights types. (really I could name any sacred liberal cow).
It would be easy to play the same game with any group of people bonding together for some common interest (liberal/conservative/secular it doesn’t matter)
How many union members believe their leaders are doing the right for them? There is an implied trust that sometimes imperfect humans seem to break. Most union bosses really are leading with the rank and file in mind, but are there not bad seeds at the top with selfish interests? Are union members gullible if they have a crook running things?
