Even now, with the internet granting access to information on every conceivable topic, most people still unquestioningly believe what they're taught by authority -- the government, professors (who are often funded by the government), and the mass media. The television tells people that conspiracy theorists are crazy (and now dangerous), so they go around parroting the idea. These authoritarian entities brainwash the population, filling our minds with what we're supposed to think.
Atheists, who are often proud of their own cleverness, are the most brainwashed of all. They tend to dismiss "conspiracy theories" with as much close-mindedness as they do with the supernatural. Despite claiming to "follow where the evidence leads," instead they try to explain away any evidence that contradicts their narrow worldview. For example, there's plenty of evidence that the scamdemic has been planned for years, but they don't want to believe.
Why would someone stubbornly hold onto a worldview that allows for no mystery? The answer is simply pride....They don't want to acknowledge the limits of their own reasoning.
In the distant past, I suppose people with a skeptical worldview could have been considered legitimate free thinkers, as they disagreed with the majority of the population. But those days are long gone, and postmodern skeptics aren't the radicals they fancy themselves to be....We have entered the era of shallow pseudo-intellectualism, in which most skeptics today repeat the same arguments verbatim as the "professional debunkers," unpleasant people like Richard Dawkins and Randi. Most of them believe CNN and NASA are gospel.
We've gone full circle. Before becoming a worldwide religion, Christianity began as a radical belief system. But now Christianity is waning, and (genuine) Christians are radicals once again. Christians are the real free thinkers of these times as Paganism, hedonism, and atheism are becoming the dominant worldviews in society.
