Joanna, of course there are sophisticated and thoughtful religious people and shades in between; it is important to remember that a good many people think in this way. However, it is true that confronted with the complexity of the world, many people retreat to simple views of the world. In some of the fly-over zones, those people turn to Jerry Falwell; in Marin County and similar outposts, it's the latest New Age guru.

Of course one can be simplistically, thoughtlessly atheist, too. And such people love to congratulate themselves on their enlightened views.
