There seems to be a trend amongst people from certain cultures that being religious is the default and you have to leave religion.
If suddenly all the Christians left, the next generation would not be Christian. the same holds true for every religion, you have to be inducted into it. Brain washed and lied to repeatedly by people you trust to get you to join. I've never been religious though my mum and gran were but never pushed it on me.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
