isn't religion a thing people accept rather than to understand.?

Question

dont people think a lot about god for long time and finally adjust to a religion, and start defending and finally fighting for the religion they accepted ? and if a person is born in a faith, he is so much into it, that he thinks only his faith is right. and i think islam is worst among such faiths.

Answer 1

Some people are born into faiths and accept it and get "into it", but a lot of people who are raised in a certain faith end up dumping it when they grow up. That happened to 8 out of my mom's 10 siblings, who were raised Catholic.

On the other hand, I made a conscious decision to convert to Catholicism when I was 25 years old, after years of thinking about it and reaching a deeper understanding. I was not raised Catholic.

So I don't agree that religion is always a thing that people simply accept without thinking about it. Maybe a lot of people do that, but a lot of people don't.

Answer 2

Muslim here.
I understand my faith rather than just accept it... It makes sense to me.

Edit: Muslim means submitter. And as I understand my faith, I believe that many people are already Submitters (Muslims) because it is not about categorizing a name for your beliefs but it is all about how you choose to live your life.

Quran[2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

Peace.

Answer 3

I think it should be something worth understanding. It should be a quest for truth, not a force-feeding. To just accept things blindly...well, you see what the world is up to.

Answer 4

I don't know about others, but it was all quite the opposite with me.
