Yeah, but that came to be in some way. You haven't been born with the catholicism is true gene.
Very true. So then the real question is, why do religious people believe their religion is true? That's a long answer. At least for me. As has been said by Vic and King, the answer changes from person to person based on their own personal journey, and making simplistic assumptions and generalizations is counterproductive to understanding people's motives.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
