From the CIA World Factbook for Argentina.
Quote: Religions:
Field info displayed for all countries in alpha order.
nominally Roman Catholic 92% (less than 20% practicing), Protestant 2%, Jewish 2%, other 4%
As you say they are born into it but even the Argies are not buying it any more.
Ah, I see. So, are we able to distinguish between those who are willing to listen to reason and those who are not by non-practicing status? /rhetorical (No)
John V Wrote:That's the question. People tend to be like their parents. So what? How is this incompatible with the Bible? Where does the Bible say that this principle will cease with regard to Christianity?Perhaps you misunderstand my point. Muslims, Jews, Christians, etc. all believe their faith is the correct one, but they cannot all be right. I argue that the dominant religion in the region and the religion + religiousity of the parents is the strongest factor in determining which religion you end up with, as opposed to which one has the most evidence. The number two factor is likely which religion a person likes best (again with no regards to evidence).
