Example, "I am atheist because my parents did not go to church and they are atheist" I am not saying that this applies to everyone, but there will always be some.
And that's true for many theists as well. It seems, from what I've seen and read, that the religion you belong to is usually more cultural than a choice. "My parents were (insert religion and religious sub-category here) and so am I."
a) You have not understood anything about me , because i already stated I am a theist not part of any religion and it is my choice. Or is that something you don't feel I can choose?
b) And where did I mention that the example only applies to atheists? The sentence before includes religion and atheism and the conversation was about "How would one follow atheism exactly? " So I just trying to answer it in those terms.
c) From what I gather about you, it seems you are following atheism without choice.
