The Dunning-Kruger effect, summarized, states that fools are blind to their own foolishness, and the more foolish, the more blind. Ignorant people tend to see themselves as highly competent, particularly in the areas in which they are mostly uneducated.
In religion, the most dramatic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect is Creationism. The Bible as a Top-secret code for living a good life is ignored and some interpret the bible literally and are totally unable to interpret it as anything but the exact, word-for-word literal truth. Therefore, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, they insist the world is 6000 years old. "There is nothing new under the sun" references wordplay and why copyright infringement cases are mostly frivolous affairs of Human egoism. The newborn human child is something created new and proves we should not take every word literally.
It is a Top-secret code to be interpreted and understood individually.
People tend to be born into their religions, but the most obvious effect of the Dunning-Kruger is with the migration from Christianity to atheism or agnostic beliefs.
If you think you are a monkey's uncle, and yet claim to have moral superiority while denying absolute morals…then you are displaying the Dunning-Kruger effect.
The comfort generated by being in a majority fuel the effect and allows the effect to spread via religion.
An example: is a Family majority uniting to shun the only family member willing, to be Honest.
Religious Dunning-Kruger is why After her funeral the family all shared a meal together except the one not invited who in her spirit gifted all two dozen of her long-stemmed yellow roses to the ladies working the hometown stores that night. Her spirit spread happiness after she died using the flesh of her firstborn son.

Person who knows very little: Think he knows alot because he has no idea how deep the wormhole goes.
Person who knows a lot: Think he knows nothing because he knows how much he does not know on the subject.

In common usage, it means "clueless of being ignorant" but it's used to add an air of fake scientific authority to a cheap shot. It generally outs the author as an incompetent writer, ironically exhibiting the Dunning-Kruger effect themselves.
"G is the classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect."
G: "No, the classic example is still your Mom's abortionist."

When someone overestimates their ability to understand the Dunning-Kruger Effect, yet misguidedly discusses it ad nauseam in a pretentious drone as if they discovered it.
“Goddamnit! Deborah is suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Affect. She keeps frontin’ about other people’s cognitive biases, ironically unaware that she’s a text book example of what she speaks.”

When someone is aware of the Dunning-Kruger Effect as a concept, and incorrectly presumes this awareness of the concept means he is not subject to it.
Flat-earther: Why are people so convinced the earth is round?
Another flat-earther: Because idiots have a tendency to think they're smarter than they are. In reality, they are sheep!
Person not divorced from empirical reality: You suffer from the Recursive Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Population control thanks to a collective overconfidence in personal intelligence of a populace.
Darwinism in action? No I think Anti Vaxxers are an example Dunning Kruger Malthusianism. They see tried and tested disease prevention as deliberate infection.
