OK, I understand. My Nutzoid-to-English dictionary and phrase book says “blind religious faith” in Nutzoid means “evidence based expert consensus” in English.
The disbelief in the existence of experts and expert testimony (a peculiar form of “atheism”) was demonstrated a few years ago by a print ad that was headlined something like “300 scientists who don’t believe in evolution,” accompanied by three hundred signatures. When checked out, the “scientists” listed turned out to be pharmacists, electricians, mathematicians, and such… or scientists in fields unrelated to biology, geology, paleontology, or medicine.
The response from the actual experts was to start the Steve Project, which listed scientists in fields actually related to evolutionary science… but only if they were named Steve. The name Steve is shared by one percent of the American population. The published list has grown and currently stands at over 1,400 names.
So, even in a highly educated nation that has produced such Steves, many still believe Russian propaganda, FOX News, and Donald Trump.
