Those are the places where my religion comes from - not the place where I WAS BORN.
Missing the point (over and over).
Nobody is claiming that. Re-read the OP.
What is being claimed, however, is that the cultural [and religious] context into which you are born is a factor that dictates what religion you will end up espousing.
So, yes, de facto Christianity may have been started a couple of thousand years ago in a geographical locations thousands of miles away.
But then again, there are Hindu families in East London who give birth to children who, through some sort of miraculous feat, end up being Hindu's, despite the fact they've never once been the place where their religion supposedly began.
Hmm...Can you see the point yet?
What about this. There are very few white Christian families in central Birmingham that end up having children who end up with Hindu beliefs.
You don't need to respond to this.
