We're living a lot longer than we did (we are a species) in the Middle Ages, when the world was flat, the universe revolved around it, and every aspect of our society was influenced by the politicians through their use of the Church of the Fear of the Unknown.
We're living a lot longer, not because of our faith in a deity, or because we're marching under the direction of the preacher industry. It's because we killed millions of rats. And because we've disproven, discarded and replaced the dictates of the preacher industry. The Germ theory of Disease cured the concept that God wants us to be sick. The heliotropic solar system cured the notion that we occupy the center of the Universe. Emancipation argues that God doesn't supply our lot in life and demand we subjugate ourselves to our betters.
If your faith is such that higher education and science threatens it, then you should surrender your likely longevity. Do it now.
