I can't see any true five studying everything else and simultaneously coming up with some knee jerk dismissal of religion as being "pretend". Those fives who do show a strange and willfully blind bias.
It reminds me of a liberal friend of mine who spoke brilliantly about politics, which was pretty good for him since he had a long time reputation for being mentally "slow". He was speaking like an expert about everything. Then I asked him about some militant black who said something stupid about white people and how he could justify supporting this charlatan phony. He answered "These people suffer from poor education due to racism and ITS UP TO US TO TEACH THEM AND SHOW THEM THE WAY TO THINK!"
Bullshit. This guy we were talking about had a Masters degree.
