In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
RE: In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
(May 12, 2025 at 10:34 am)Angrboda Wrote: The fact that religious belief so strongly correlates with the belief of the person's parents and their community and culture suggest that the relationships and environment in the family and the community play an outsized role in determining what people believe, far beyond any attribution to personal choice unfettered by coercive factors.

Exactly this. People (by and large, not completely) from the same culture tend to speak the same language, eat the same foods, and wear the same clothes. It is unsurprising that they would have the same religious views. Cultural inertia does more to explain religious belief than the pronouncements of scholars, no matter how many times they are cited.
