Again, what causes a shift in dogmatism over time?
Access to education and societal tolerance to critical thinking?
Closer! Access to education helps, certainly. Social tolerance for critical thinking, however, stems from material conditions as well, however.
That's a pretty naive take. There are plenty of rich religious fundamentalists, and plenty of poor atheists. And plenty of rich societies with very little tolerance for critical thinking
I don't mean wealth when I say "material conditions," I mean the whole of how society is organized and the class dynamics that exist within it.
