I think that what determines a persons religious perspective is 99% attributed to whatever their parent's religion is. People get born into a christian family, then that christian family conditions their child to learn the ways of their beliefs by taking him to church and so on and the cycle continues and the child simply "goes with it" since they're taught that since day one. However some people choose to question whether or not what they've been told all along is true or not but most people LIKE TO CONFORM and that is my opinion of the perpetuating cycle of religion. Or atleast one major aspect of it. When it comes down to it I think people are just too scared or weak to accept that we might be all "alone" and after this life, there is only death waiting for us and to be an individual and question the norm.

I personally do not believe in any religion, but I do believe something is out there. Whether it is a god, or whether it's just "nature" because from a logical point of view, believing in the bible takes faith, but at the same time so does the big bang. They both takes faith to believe in because neither have been 100% proven. I don't know about you but I'm not smart enough to understand the complexities of the math behind the "big bang" theory.

I will say though, I have no idea how a person can believe in the bible. I mean why would god go to such a round about method to teach us his ways? If he was all powerful and all knowing wouldn't he just implant his teachings in our brains instead of giving us a book which is ridiculous and vague and able to be interpreted into several version because for 10 ppl who read it there are 10 different opinions? In fact why would he go through the trouble of making the earth at all and doing all of this, when he knew what would happen to all of us before he even created anything! Since he is all knowing and all. The fact that he is an all knowing and all powerful god contradicts free choice right?
