I think that two topics turn off the brain more than anything else. Religion and Polotics.

A small disclaimer here before I get into it. I am not commenting on whether people are right or wrong, and I am not saying that people are idiots for believing one way or the other.

That being said, the reason that people most people turn off their brains on these two topics is called "faith." Most people who have decided to back a certain political belief and almost all people who have religious beliefs have decided that they are going to believe that "no matter what."

People who believe things can't look to logic to find their answers because, in most cases of belief, logic has no answers for them. They must simply believe, or not believe.

This is especially true of religion, where there can neither be proof of or proof against its veracity in your lifetime. If there were proof that a religion was true it wouldn't be called belief. It would just be fact.
