I am Christian.
In most cases, your parents raised you to be whatever religion you are, or aren't. You are raised to believe in God and whatever your certain religion says. You are strong in your beliefs, because it is what you have known your entire life. You know your religion is the "legitimate" one.
But what about the other people...
I will use Budhists for example.
They were born, raised to believe in reincarnation and everything. They believe in THAT as strongly as I believe in what MY Bible says. If we all believe what we were raised to believe, how can we know for sure what is the truth. I have my reasons in believing what I do, from what I have seen personally... but haven't the budhists also... this is really hard for me to explain and get to my point, but basically... if you were raised to believe one thing, what makes it the truth, and it isn't really fair for you to have faith in God your entire life and go to hell because you didn't know which was the truth...
