Question. Question. Question
Up until a few hundred years ago, European missionaries travelled across the world in the wake of colonisation, spreading the Christian faith. Missionary stations were established, and children were introduced to religious teachings through Sunday School.
Robert Raikes (1736–1811), a British journalist and philanthropist, is widely regarded as the pioneer and founder of the Sunday School Movement.
Targeting children through Sunday School has long been an effective method of shaping belief systems. During childhood, the mind is highly imaginative and naturally open to accepting ideas as truth. What we learn at a young age, especially when reinforced repeatedly, often becomes deeply embedded, shaping our worldview well into adulthood.
This process can be understood as conditioning or programming of the mind. When beliefs are formed early, they are often defended fiercely later in life, because they feel inseparable from identity itself. Historically, those in positions of power understood the human psyche well and knew that shaping belief early was a powerful means of influence and control.
Within this context, faith was often taught as something to be accepted rather than examined. Questioning religious doctrine was discouraged, as many were conditioned to believe the “Word of God” could not be challenged. This was not unique to Christianity; most religious traditions maintain that their sacred texts originate from divine sources, yet history also shows they were often endorsed, preserved, and shaped by political leaders and emperors.
The GOOD NEWS is that we live in a different age. Today, questioning no longer needs to be associated with fear, guilt, or rebellion. Asking questions is not an act of defiance, it is wanting to understand.
For instance, if the Bible teaches that Adam and Eve were the first humans, how do we understand the story of Cain fleeing east of Eden to the land of Nod? Where did Nod come from and who was already there? (Gen 4:16-17).
And this is precisely why one of Vigit Magazine’s editorial pillars is “Going Beyond Religion.”
Today, we owe it to ourselves, to our children, and to future generations to move beyond blind belief and into conscious understanding. To ask questions. To explore context. To seek truth rather than inherit it unquestioned.
Only then can we make informed, empowered choices, rooted not in fear or obligation.
Warm Regards,
Max
