I'd love to see society turn wholeheartedly against the idea that "blind faith" can be virtuous. We need to employ peer pressure to help people break their old patterns. The same way we've dissuaded most of society from smoking. To me, lacking incredulity (not questioning faith) is a clear character flaw.

Tim Wu's essay "The Tyranny of Convenience" can explain some of the lack of incredulity. People fight the inconvenience of change & the burdon of knowledge. Easier to make decisions on autopilot.
A meat eater who loves pork doesn't want to hear about how they boil the pigs alive to melt the fur off their skin before slaughter. That knowledge invokes responsibility that might lead to loss of their enjoyment of bacon.
@resist1984 Interesting, thanks.
