You are assuming that all religious people are following in their parents footsteps. I am not. I have come to my religious faith independent (and different) from that of my parents.

Don't worry about the grammar. even with the spell checker, I still get it wrong,:)
Well, I would have to say that the answer lies in Four words. Love, Loyalty, Faith, and Fear.
Love: Of course you want to make the person you love happy, so you follow in the path they set for you. You're happy , they're happy, life is good.
Loyalty: Similar as love, but more seated in a sense of duty. Your father went to a certain church as did his father and so forth. Which means that you should go to this church as well.
Faith: Just as it sounds. Faith is when you can take something not proven and it becomes fact. To a Christian, there is God, Jesus did die for our sins, and the 10 commandment are mandatory. no question. It's just like the laws of the country you live in.
Fear: This is the darker side of religion. Sometimes based on one or more of the previous three. Being forced to worship, not to disappoint you family, or just plain afraid of going to hell. There for you "worship" God to save yourself from the pain.
I hope this helps.

Once we understand that there is a God over this universe, and he watches us and loves us then we can start to understand the importance of Religion in our lives. There are ways that you can find out by educating your self in Religion, and Neel with a sin-sear hart and ask God if there need be Religion in your life, and I promise that your answers will be met.

Because they still have all the rights to do so.
And what kind of sh*t is this? Someone using Thomas Alva Edison as a screen name points his fingers at others and dare to touch the word traditional?

Actually, I don't follow my parent's beliefs. But then you have no way of knowing that do you?
Hope you get some new batteries soon. It's not fun to be forced to type like that, is it?

Just the fact that there are millions if not billions of peopl that practice faith should enlighten you that there is something true about God out there. The problem is its being hidden by a lot of false information that leads people astray.
I pray you dont be one of the ones lead astray.Yes I know it can be hard to discern the truth with alot of false infor out there; but please trust me and trust christians....some of us are not as wise as we should be when it comes to leading people to Christ but we know what were talking about.

so, we have the chance to give up our religion, which we happen to like, or become an atheist and believe that anybody who doesn't follow the same set of narrow beliefs as you do is an "idiot"?
no offense, but i think i'll pass...

People need something to believe in. And its easier to blame all your misfortune on an invisible being then to account for it as your own fault.
I say live and let live. If you want to believe in a religion than believe, if you don't you don't.
Live your life the way you want.

It provides comfort and some sort of order to the idea of death, plus, its a cultural bond.
