“Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don’t have all the answers to think that they do”
— Bill Maher

Simplified Meaning:
When people follow a religion, they might believe they know everything about the world and what's right or wrong because of their faith. This can be risky because no one can truly know everything. Thinking you have all the answers can lead to problems. For example, in history, there were times when people said the Earth was the center of the universe based on their religious beliefs, and they refused to consider other ideas. If they had been more open to new information, they could have made progress faster. To make sure we don’t fall into this trap ourselves, it’s important to be open-minded, listen to different viewpoints, and understand that we can always learn more. This way, we can grow and make better decisions.
