In matters of religion, it's all nurture. We are taught religion, we are not born with it. :3

Hmmm. I agree that religion is not something we are born with. However, I do not agree that it is always all taught to us. How did the first religious person come about then? How does a child raised without religion later become religious? The concept of god did not come from the mouth of anyone. It came from someone's mind first. Erroneous thinking or not, it was thinking, not learning, that brought religion into this world.

Sorry, I realize I was overgeneralizing.

What I meant was that in modern times, indoctrination is the most common path to religion (I really need to pay more attention to what I write, I always end up clarifying a miswording).
