Physicists base their beliefs on actual evidence,
WHY have
beliefs BEFORE facts are gathered, AND, WHY even have
beliefs after you have the facts?
Beliefs are not necessary and in fact they can get in the way of gaining more facts, so WHY have
beliefs at all?

An extremely painfully slow increasing understanding that is. A solution to this ridiculously slow increase in understanding is to rid one's self of any and ALL beliefs, except the belief in one's ability. That way gaining
'understanding', itself, can happen almost immediately.

'Religion' does not accept nor reject any thing. Human beings do and I see this type of behavior from ALL people, not just the ones with religious views.

'Religion' does not change, human beings do, and you can expect much better if you choose to, but you will only be more disappointed than you are now.
When I expect things like adult human beings to be caring for and guiding children to what is right, and protecting them from what is wrong I inevitably feel disappointed, so instead of expecting any thing, I just wait patiently for the right adults to come along.
