Religious people aren't bothered or surprised at all when their prayers don't come true. On the other hand, if their cell phone or car or air conditioner suddenly stops working without warning, they're absolutely shocked and dismayed.

My point is that even the most religious people actually believe in science far more than they believe in their religion. They're just too stupid to realize it.

There's a reason why "virtue signalling" was a term originally coined to describe faith behaviors.
