First i would like to direct you people to the following website,

Quick Summary of Milgram Experiments:-
The Milgram Experiment is about how people can sometimes do really immoral things like torture/kill other people without having the intent to do so.
The experiment was designed to find out how the Nazi soldiers could carry out the mass killing of jews, without questioning if what they were doing was "right". The premise is that most people will blindly do what someone else says, if that person is in a position of authority.
With regards to the article it doesn't go as deep as i would like into the subject of theists being blindly obedient, more so than athiests/agnostics. The irony of this article is that religious people seem to think that morality comes from god/religion.
The question i am asking is, does believing in something without proof leave you vulnerable to situations like this?
Many times the volunteers were told to carry on after they had protested, they were told by the "men in white coats" that the person being shocked was not being harmed by this action.
