Ο Έκο πιστεύει ότι υπάρχει σύνδεση μεταξύ της κατήχησης των ανθρώπων στο παράλογο της θρησκείας και την αφέλεια στην μετέπειτα ζωή τους ως ενήλικοι:

People believe those who sell lotions that make lost hair grow back. They sense instinctively that the salesman is putting together truths that don't go together, that he's not being logical, that he's not speaking in good faith. But they've been told that God is mysterious, unfathomable, so to them incoherence is the closest thing to God. The farfetched is the closest thing to a miracle.
