Get the Recursive Dunning-Kruger Effect mug.The Dunning-Kruger effect, summarized, states that fools are blind to their own foolishness, and the more foolish, the more blind. Ignorant people tend to see themselves as highly competent, particularly in the areas in which they are mostly uneducated.
In religion, the most dramatic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect is Creationism. The Bible as a Top-secret code for living a good life is ignored and some interpret the bible literally and are totally unable to interpret it as anything but the exact, word-for-word literal truth. Therefore, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, they insist the world is 6000 years old. "There is nothing new under the sun" references wordplay and why copyright infringement cases are mostly frivolous affairs of Human egoism. The newborn human child is something created new and proves we should not take every word literally.
It is a Top-secret code to be interpreted and understood individually.
People tend to be born into their religions, but the most obvious effect of the Dunning-Kruger is with the migration from Christianity to atheism or agnostic beliefs.
If you think you are a monkey's uncle, and yet claim to have moral superiority while denying absolute morals…then you are displaying the Dunning-Kruger effect.
The comfort generated by being in a majority fuel the effect and allows the effect to spread via religion.
An example: is a Family majority uniting to shun the only family member willing, to be Honest.

Religious Dunning-Kruger is why After her funeral the family all shared a meal together except the one not invited who in her spirit gifted all two dozen of her long-stemmed yellow roses to the ladies working the hometown stores that night.
