Fucking mind boggling really that they can't accept their faith is a direct result of their locale and upbringing.
You are probably right--a bias will form. Is your assertion that faith is a direct result of locale and upbringing? That does not make sense if at least 15% of Christians (in the US) become so as adults nor does it explain the tremendous growth of Christianity in Africa and China (which would presumably be a much higher rate of adult conversion.
It seem like more of an opinion rather than a fact that Christians should just "accept".
