Yes, I agree, we cannot chose to have faith in any particular deity.

Our parents do that for us. It's done through indoctrination. It's a psychological loophole which only works while the mind is undeveloped and we trust our parents unquestioningly as kids. If there was no child indoctrination, all corporate religions would die in one generation as they would be seen for the absurdity that they are....
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
