Can only say for the people around me where I live. They practice Christianity. They were the first to go for the vmeds. I suspect because for them it's all just a family friendly ritual: go to church, mingle with the community, say your faith in God, etc. without really thinking about things, or in the case of one guy I know, just to have knowledge. But that's useless without application into their own daily life. To all of them it's trained them to submit to authority
Yes! I think submitting to authority (no matter what the authority is) has been ingrained in our culture through school programming, medical doctors, organized religion/church, etc. People are raised to trust authority without question. And critical thinking is not taught in schools... But here is where it gets complicated - how do we know the people in authority have our best interests in mind? This is where discernment and critical thinking comes in. Also, some of us were just born to question authority figures, and we are typically immune to the propaganda.
