I have to issue an apology.

I used the phrase "religious thinking" and, upon thinking about it, I really shouldn't have said that. It paints with too broad of a brush.

What was in my head at the time that I wrote it were the things like Muslims who claim the Koran is so incredibly accurate because they 'came close' on the number of bones in the hand so *therefore* the Koran *must* be used as a primer on how to live life.

I didn't have a word for "conclusion-first, now let's find facts to back it up and *only* supportive facts" kind of thinking.

I should have expressed myself better, or, at the very least, more clearly, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
