You are on the right track. I think it starts with the educational system: Ghana schools teach children to listen and copy what the teacher tells them and then repeat it literally at the next exam. It does not teach children to think...! They dont learn thinking and reasoning logically. They are rewarded just for copying. So there is no initiative; there is no free thought. You do as you're told. By teachers, by pastors. That is why Ghana is such a bountiful territory for European and American Evengelical missionaries. Nobody will question their stories. They can build their little religious empires unopposed. That is why the irrational creation story from the big Christian Fairytale book are tought in schools rather than the scientifically substantiated and in the western world gererally accepted teachings of Darwin. Free thought needs to be learned. If you want to learn more go to www.atheistnexus.org , not necessarily to take your religion away from you, but to start thinking and understanding that the world makes just as much sense or maybe even more so, without the dogmatic beliefs in unrealistic stories.
