Pious Paradox

The level where religious people thinks they are too good and feel like they are above other people to the point where their religiousness backfires in intellect and empathy. In simple terms, FOR SOME PEOPLE, the more you become religious, the less intelligent and empathetic you become.

This paradox is prevalent, especially in Abrahamic religions.

Here, Jamal illustrates a pious paradox, where he thinks he has never experienced depression because of his "higher level" of faith.
