True, religions that are actually against medicine are extremely uncommon. However, it's undeniable that there is a strong correlation between being religious and being anti-vax(among other things). As to why, there's a multitude of reasons but in most cases it comes down to conservatism imo.I don't think most religious people are anti-vax because of "religion." The ones that say they are...are saying they are as some bullshit excuse. Sure, there are some religions out there that are anti....anything medical, but generally you don't see followers of those religions becoming doctors.
