Blindly accepting what we are told happens constantly. Religion doesn't have the monopoly on that. So if we want to change the world we have to examine a few more things than just religion.
The other side of that same argument is that if we were all told the same thing and blindly accepted what we were told then there would be "an end to the lunacy going on in the World today".
It all really comes down to a matter of trust and in who we put our trust. CD has quoted many scientific 'facts', such as the stars were created before the Earth. Of course neither he nor I know that for a fact - we trust those we have read or heard say this is the case and their explanation appears to be logical so we accept it on trust - in reality of course neither of us know this for a fact.
