I had two very supportive parents, so did my wife.
So did pretty much everyone (religious) I'm close to, come to think of it.

From my view, there are no statistics to back up your thoughts. It's simply being thrown out there seemingly at random, actually?

Oh, not at all. Pay no attention to all the nonsense about "gawd/allah/whatever the FATHER"..

What about the millions of Christians who did not grow up in a Christian home.

"From birth" was superfluous.
