Religion as an adult choice
#11
RE: Religion as an adult choice
There are exceptions, but I would imagine most people who are religious were in some sort of physically or emotionally vulnerable state before they converted. Either because they were children, or because their lives sucked as many testimonials go. Or maybe their community forced them into it. I'm not really sure why a well off adult would join a religion if they hadn't been dragged into it beforehand.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
