but because it is passed down the family like a tradition and force fed upon the children when they were young and defenseless?
We have so many different types of religion flourishing and I don't see that all can be true.

I believe that religion is passed down the line like a virus. If you're a spiritually-minded person, there's nothing wrong with having a belief in the existence of (or teachings of) God, Allah, Jesus, Confucious, Buddah, Satan or whatever else. As long as you're not subscribing to any doctrine so blindly that you'll willfully follow any asshole waving around a Holy Book like an assault rifle. In the wrong hands, religion is much worse than any other weapon that any person on this planet has ever manufactured.

Your argument is incorrect in such fairly some techniques. You assume that humankind are evidently pushed in the route of evil. That, one way or the different, a new child toddler is already damned previously it takes that's first breathe. it truly is ridiculous. you truly believe that each and every human being is, at heart, evil? So, is each and every non-christian, previous, contemporary, and destiny, is incapable of reliable? even extra ridiculous. you do not personal morality. you're projecting your beliefs upon everyone else. This on my own proves your argument as incorrect and biased.

Haha, You obviously haven't had any children yet. We have to force feed them everything until they see the light of why they need to behave in a sharing way to others, eat vegetables or meat, worship God over self, and listen to their elders. Even in Genesis 8:21 God says "the Imagination of mankind is evil from his youth." Which he may have known, but hadn't accepted because its hard to accept that what we create with minds of their own, that they don't want to be perfect. We want to have fun, be mischievious and until we accept this fact ourselves we will remain apart from each other. We are going to practice the fun and work of life differently.

where does religion come from? Come from humans of course!! It depends on how you look at it... Religion doesn't come from animals or pop up from nowhere... What do you mean by true and false? This is just a perception of the human mind... How you teach children is how they are growing up to be like you...

Don't concern yourself with religion. Ask Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior and become a Christian. You'll be glad you did.
P.S. Why do you care? If you are so dead set against religion, why do you ask questions like this? Develop another interest and go ask inane questions there.
God is great. God is good. What you need is His food.

religion hasnt been doing that in america its kinda(rather) the opposite, usually it would pass down generation to generation, but mizing religions and races thats one thing, but being leanient parents omg wtf, they just cant discipline their kids, if they put the fear of god in them then religion would still die at the age of 25

the most popular religions seem to be the most violent ones.
