Most of them I turned around and got them to change their religious beliefs; not intentionally, but I think the beliefs they previously held simply didn't hold up to the kinds of questions I was asking. Haven't really been with someone who stayed with any especially fundamentalist religions, especially not over the last decade or so where my very existence pisses off fundies.
It isn't a habit. It is a statistical likelyhood. Where ever you encounter a possible date, it is likely that they will be religious just by sheer weight of numbers. There are way more of them then there are of us. I will grant that the atheist/humanist/secular position is growing rather rapidly, but we are nowhere near the numbers the various religions can command. ("command" used intentionally)
