Why are people raised in the most scientifically advanced nation on earth, with free access to a greater body of knowledge than any humans have ever had, retreating into superstition?

<rant> Why do people embrace Religion? Because they are looking for answers, and their secular society has failed to give them answers. What is our Philosophy? Post Modernism, an approach that says Reason is of little use, man cannot know. If you take Philosophy at a top flight Western University that is what you are taught. And it filters down to the rest to those who don't take it directly.

The Enlightenment was the high point for the use of Reason. It lasted in our country from the Declaration of Independence through the Victorian Age, and ended with the death of Ingersoll in 1899. secularhumanism.org

America runs on reason and spends it's spare time engaging in superstition. That is why I keep bringing up articles about it. </rant>
