Why many people are orthodox towards religion instead of believing in humanity
Brainwash! LOL. If you look up the definition of "orthodox," it is the conforming of what is accepted as right or true; not independently-minded; and unoriginal. We as a community of people have been taught and sometimes brainwashed since birth to conforming. That is an unfortunate. However, if we look past the "traditionalism" of religions and really read the scriptures (no matter what religion), we can see past all the legalities and learn that "humanity" is what is most important.
