Maybe this will help:

The bible was written my primitive humans. So, no, you don't actually know if a god exists or it has said anything.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

If your parents said the moon is made out of cheese and Barack Obama is a secret vampire, would you believe that?

No it's not. Your parents were indoctrinated from childhood just like they are doing to you.

Your parents are humans. Humans are frequently wrong. Your parents are giving the idea of god a free ride in their brains without subjecting the idea to logical thought. They do this because of their indoctrination, their own fears, and simply because it's easier just to go along with it like they always have.

They are being mentally lazy on this. And very gullible.

If that's what they based their life around and still acted as normal as they do now, I would consider it.
