Are you comfortable with letting your most important decision in life to be made by others?

I do not consider believing in God to be down to parenting and inheritance of faith.
I believe it to be individual choice, and not a choice of own accordance, but a choice that is made in an individuals mind, on which story they believe.
Some people may not believe the story and believe in science for example. Having a scientific mind, they never excepted the stories to be real.
Some cultures force religion on people, but even in these cultures, there is people who do not believe, but they are too scared of their own culture, to not worship a myth.
In all reality it is down to individual thought and whether or not that individuals mind allows them to believe.
That is why people lose faith, normally a turning point in their life, allows them to see reality.
It is hard to believe in ''pink invisible unicorns''.
disclaimer - I have no problem with religion, it is your choice, although I consider it to be creation to keep the poor quiet and the rich in their castles.
