Well, of course...

In article , says...

The point, which seems lost here, is that the belief that the sun
revolves around the earth is an ancient religious belief that was
carried forward by more modern religions, and that the people who still
believe it do so out of ignorance and religious belief and superstition.
And what is superstition if not the belief in supernatural causes or in
trying to explain the natural world in religious terms, such as taking
literally "biblical" history that claims to indicate the age of this
planet.

Where are these people who believe the sun moves around the earth
because religion tells them that?
If I hadn't been schooled I'd think the same.
It's the apparent way of thinking.
Sun comes up, sun goes down.
Can't feel the earth turning.
You don't need religion to tell you that.
Besides. Copernicus was a clergyman supported by the church, as were
most "scientists."
Resistance to science has been political. Sometimes church politics.
