Religion definitely explains a lot. Even those who were not brainwashed in a church have been affected by the ideas and memes which pervade our society and institutions which originate in religion. However, I don't believe that explains the meanspiritedness, rank cynicism, and exceptionalism as well as certain other influences do. Where did most of us spend a lot of time observing hypocrisy, pretension, bullying, demoralization, victim blaming, disrespect, and the devaluation of our time and attention? I know - that's a really hard question to answer honestly.
