This is a Ted talk video.

The video says that both these behaviours are based on emotions. That one goes past me a little.
The soldier behaviour aka wal retard behaviour is based on unthinking emotions.
To question, to think, to ask "Why?" and to look for true answers is not an emotional thing. This stage is dependent not on emotion but on knowledge and experience.
Once a person's knowledge and experiences increase (they have read, they have listened, they have discussed, they have seen, they have done, they have been there) outside of his own circle, cocoon, religion, sect, caste etc then he may or will acquire the Scout outlook on life.
Hence to prevail in religion it is extremely very simple : dont read, dont listen, dont discuss, do not see, dont do and do not go anywhere else).

The net result : religion fails drastically everywhere.
This means religion based thinking has to be stupid. In Quranic parlance it has to be "satanic". Satan is not a being that anyone can see. So please do not describe satan as though "he" looks like "you".
"Satan" can only influence your thinking, your mind. Meaning "satan" resides inside your mind. Its your thinking. Its the way you think. The way you think can be changed / improved by the amount of "thinking based" knowledge that you acquire. Reading, listening, discussing, observing, doing and travelling etc.
Religion is stupid. Remember this very well.
