5. I would say if anything kills religion it is the religion's inability to stand up under scrutiny

Hopefully one thing people learn in college is to check out claims.
When the claims of a religion are checked out they almost always come up short.

So I guess if you went to college and no longer just take a religious claim as true without checking, that is somehow the college's fault.
