I meant from the perspective that we had no choice in the choice of our beliefs.
And would add, the fact we do condemn them, shows we believe we do choose what we believe and that there are things that we ought to believe(ie. there are thought crimes).
Point three, if religions deal with morals, and we accept we chose to believe in morals, then we necessarily have a choice in believing in a religion while not necessarily the choice in not believing in it but possibly the choice in not believing in it.
