I have only one religious friend, and hes basically only religious because he doesn't know how else to live or how to think in any other way. I eventually got to have a long conversation with him and he admitted it came down to complete blind faith for no reason. So it's a pretty steriotypical situation of raised by the bible (Oh yea hes christian btw) and so sheltered that he doesn't know how to NOT follow his parents views. Odds are it will all take a backseat later on in life and while he won't likely abandon all faith it will be a quick prayer before dinner.ect
All my other friends thought about it more in depth when I started getting into religion more seriously and all came to similar conclusions as I did.
The part that gets me is I don't know exactly how I feel about it. His family never brings it up when I don't join in prayer or tries to convert me but, from my perspective he may as well beleive in the tooth fairy. And to be frank I've seen MORE evidence for the tooth fairy in my life than for god.
