Honestly speaking do you think you are an open minded person? If you are, would you accept if your core believes were proven wrong?

@Nipper66: I could not agree more! We need to accept that people have their own opinions. So why should be "hate" what someone else thinks as long as they don't hurt anyone? We don't question any of their other opinions/belief but when it comes to religion/ existence we lose our minds!?

@Curiousguy833: I figured that's the perspective from which you were looking, because the common narrative these days is that religious people are wrong, stubborn and "closed minded", as you insinuated and on the other hand "science" explains.

My point is that, people who claim to be open minded, even scientifically minded people, may not necessarily be open minded.

@Ax17x7: I would be lying if I said I am not biased, and you would be right when you say that a lot of people nowadays think that religious people are wrong or stubborn etc.

Also you did answer my question when you said that people who claim they are opened minded, may not be opened minded and that's interesting.

So that got me thinking... maybe the point of being open minded is to accept what others think even if you don't understand it. Don't hate or love... be indifferent?

@Curiousguy833: I think being open minded means that you are at least willing to entertain someone else's perspective and give it a fair assessment. You don't need to accept their views as truth, and criticism doesn't necessarily mean a closed mind. An amount of scepticism is healthy.
