This is a problem because in the humongous debate concerning whether or not God exists, people's motives for believing in God come into question. Because of the lack of proof and evidence for God's existance, people often turn to the excuse that religion just makes sense to them, that they believe there has to be something bigger than them. This is only so because they were raised into it at an impressionable age. As much as they think they have their own beleifs really a lot of people just have their parents' beliefs. |
And people could not just as easily become religious later in life? I did a project on the UUSE (unitarian unaversalist society east) and I interviewed a number of people. They had different personal beliefs, pagan, christian, agnostic, etc... but most of them joined this church during their adult life. In fact the unitarian church did not allow children under 18 to participate in services.
