I was born a nonbeliever, and I stayed that way because my parents never tried to cram religion down my throat. It only reinforces my understanding of how humans adopt religion. Religion is not freely chosen by most. For most, they are fed religion as absolute fact when we don't know any better, and when we grow older, since religion is the foundation we built our lives on, we dare not remove it for fear of our entire lives becoming broken. It is easy to accept answers for everything. It is difficult to search for the real ones.
"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty." ~ Albert Einstein
