It’s pretty odd that you don’t seem to see the many other ways besides religion that people are motivated to believe certain things over other things that lead to wrong conclusions.
This has been the case since… the first man.

People who aren't religious just can be swayed by logic and reason. People who are, can't. It's that simple. They have to break out of their culture of denying reality themselves.
As I showed, people studied the same results that McHugh studied and came to the opposite conclusion. After studying more results, JHU reversed his decision. Not surprisingly, people motivated by religious dogma come to wrong conclusions despite evidence to the contrary, and this has been true since the time of Galileo.
