it is presented as truth while they are children and are discouraged from questioning so accept it in ignorance and then fear is like a cement that binds it to their life style

It is very interesting to note that the origin of religion started with the death of a close friend, relative, children or parents. Much before any religion was practiced in the world, the men who were scavengers, and occasionally when they went hunting in group, a single individual may be killed by the animal they are hunting and mauled so badly that the person died of bleeding, etc.(or killed by a poisonous snake). They dug up the portion where he died and used to place a branch or something like that for identification. They may come again to this spot and wait a few minutes thinking about him and thus, gave root to the religion. Also, fears of the elements, made them to hide from thunder, lightening, bush fire, etc. and silently prayed that to be stopped. And thus the religion formed and subsequently human beings gave a different twist and practiced different ways generation after generation.

That is exactly where it comes from. Sadly there is an unlimited supply of ignorance. New morons are born every day, so eventually religion will come about again and again until all information is known. Unfortunately even then there will be morons born who are unwilling to learn the information and they will still invent religions.
Sad, but the beast will never be killed.

Religion defines rules for a civilised society. These rules have moral and ethical rules. God is defined as the most impartial and just entity. God is supposed to be an embodiment of all virtues and all rules governing a civilised society are believed to be emanating from god. Apart from the moral and ethical rules an individual is inspired by his own experiments with spiritual forces from time to time. This embolden one's faith in religion and God.

Not exactly accurate. People learn from their surroundings (eg: their parents in this case) and apply it to their own lives. However, parental guidance can only take them so far. How they eventually perceive any religion is up to them.

I disagree. I choose to believe that religions are passed from one generation to another through FAITH in God.

yes but there is a forth thing in that chain, lazziness on the part of the children, ie its easier to believe than think for you're self.

Yes I agree, the word "Faith" is probably most used/misused to ensure the that children believe things they would not normally believe.
