Just because some people believe their religion isn't manmade, this misapprehension doesn't allow you to infer that their religion isn't manmade.
How many time must it be shown to you in their source documents (the bible) that faith as referred to in that time was not man made belief? It does not matter what you believe about it, how they used it and referred to it won't change.
Just because you are hung up in your beliefs about it, doesn't change history one iota.
And here I am trying to persuade an atheist that his beliefs are incorrect.....what a world.
