      Closer! Access to education helps, certainly. Social tolerance for critical thinking, however, stems from material conditions as well, however.

        That’s a pretty naive take. There are plenty of rich religious fundamentalists, and plenty of poor atheists. And plenty of rich societies with very little tolerance for critical thinking
