    believe in their religion for logical reasons

    lol. there is literally no way to use logic to infer existence of god.

    people believe in religion because they were brainwashed to it, usually at young age when they lacked the rational apparatus to resist such brainwashing.

      to be fair, logic and inference are different things. logic helps you build structure around a given set of axioms.

      actually pure logic can be horribly unhelpful if you start with axioms that are not aligned with reality. that’s why some really smart people can believe in stupid things.
