Remember that most Christians have been such their entire lives. This programming is deep, and more strongly cemented than their critical thinking skills.
The same applies for Republicans. They have been Republicans all of their lives, watching Fox News since they day they were born.
Also, that kind of programming, religions, outright cults, Fox News, they all focus on discarding critical thinking skills as much as possible. Nowadays, they are targeting empathy, too.
