Sure, and there are religious ppl who update their beliefs based on changes on society, discovery in science, …
but there are religious nuts who stick to taking 2000+ years old stories and insist on taking them literally. actively ignoring facts that where known back then. one example is numbers: there are places where religious stories mention specific numbers (10’000, 1’000’000, don’t remember and won’t look it up). people back then used these as “too many to count” or “really much”. but some ppl nowadays insist, that whatever their god is made sure, that these numbers are exactly the correct number…
Yes for sure. But well the border between science and religion should always be updated and moved

If the Pope can be a quasi-guiding figure head for most Christians (not just Catholics) to drive change, Islam and Judaism desperately need one.
