> > > I would think that fives may {or may not} reject organized religion,
but as logic based people who study, would be attracted to independent or their own religious beliefs, would study the Bible looking for deep meaning and would know the works of the theologians. 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.

I've not met a 5 who dismissed religion as "pretend".
But I would think many 5s would take a view akin to
Freud's view of religion as a mass psychological
delusion that speaks volumes about human nature
and people's psychology (i.e. their
neurotic need for a protective "father" figure).

Orthodox religions basically discourage questioning. I myself have
a hard time with that attitude, and I would think most 5s would
avoid them like the plague.
