The root cause for theism: Being brainwashed sometime after being born, most effectively done early.

I am inclined to disagree. Theism is as natural a stance as atheism is. Neither state of mind requires brain washing to attain it, considering that there is a mounting case for the neuroscience of religious belief.

For authors such as those presented in the OP however, his faith seems to be propelled by more than his quest for truth. More like his fear of it.
