So the powers that be instilled education on us? Science is part of the powers that be? Its the same powers that be that trains people to believe that Macdonald's and other such foods are the societal norm. Your contradicting yourself. While I do believe strength is in numbers, I don't believe in following religious practices that kills millions through wars and such. By this logic, what you are saying is that we should stay dumb and just follow what the good book says, in this case the bible.
So let me ask you this, do you believe that we should follow EVERY verse that the bible commands, or just the ones that Christians pick and choose to follow?
