Weird and Religious
In parts of India, there have been temples where rats are treated as sacred and allowed to roam freely. Devotees feed them milk and grain, and eating food that a rat has nibbled can be considered a blessing rather than a health risk.

In the name of religion
1992, Ayodhya in India. A large Hindu nationalist crowd demolished the Babri Masjid, followed by deadly communal riots. Participants justified the act as reclaiming the birthplace of the god Rama and correcting a historic religious insult, framing violence as sacred restoration and defence.
Fact
In Islam, the Qur an is the sacred scripture, and Islam teaches that it is the direct word of God as "revealed" to Muhammad.
Certainty over evidence
Modern culture is saturated with opinions presented as facts and feelings elevated to authority. The speed and volume of information have made it easier than ever to circulate claims without verification. People increasingly accept what aligns with their existing beliefs and reject what challenges them. This tendency did not originate with social media. Religion normalised it centuries earlier. Faith taught people to trust internal certainty over external evidence and to treat doubt as moral failure rather than intellectual caution.

“Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions.” Frater Ravus.
Ask the right question
