Why does religion have such a strong influence on people that they'll sacrifice things like a better education, etc?

Asked by jennincincy (48points) November 23rd, 2009

I have several friends who are exceptionally religious and they believe SO strongly in their religion, that they’d rather their children be in a school situation that provides fewer educational opportunities, just so they can get more religion. Being a good religious scholar isn’t going to help you get into college, unless you’re going to the seminary or some other religious institution.
