...or is religion a learned behavior, and thus proof that it's manmade?

Excellent point. I feel children tend follow the religion of their parents. As for the "proof" religion is man made. No, I would not consider this proof in that regard. Religion is a matter of personal Faith. It cannot be literally proved either way.
As a Christian woman, I believe in God and Jesus Christ. I do not judge the faith of other people.
Peace be with you

Possibly. It is not a crime to be a Christian in Saudi. You can never be a citizen if you are not a Muslim, but then again you can not be a citizen if you are not a Saud, and you can not be of the Royal House of Saud if you are not a Wahabi Muslim.
They have very strict laws against preaching or importing religious materials. Not just Christian. Almost everything else as well.
OH Well They are not only Islamic Fundamentalist Extremists and the Major funding source of Islamic Terrorists,
They are our biggest ally in the Middle East. Even outranking Israel (The holy land of cross cultural tolerance, giggle, snarf, choke)

there actually are Christians born and living in Saudi Arabia as well as all over the middle east. Religion is put upon kids from their parents and is definitely a learned way to live.
The religious books and teaching are written by men but who whose where the actual practice of religion is from and whether there is a god or not.

If I were a Christian born in Saudi Arabia, I'd probably be in heaven already.

No matter where you are born choosing to accept Christ as your Savior is a choice not a learned behavior. However, we can see the authenticity of these Christians faith even in the face of persecution and death. If Christianity were just a learned behavior, people would readily forsake it when threatened with death. It is obviously much more than a learned behavior. Anything someone is willing to die for in fact has to be something that they beyond a reasonable doubt genuinely do believe in.

It would be very difficult to be a Christian and live in Saudi Arabia. I think the punishment for a muslim to become a christian is death.However, if you are in the United States, you could become anything you want. Just don't go back to Saudi,or you could be killed, likely by stoning.

It is not man made and does not matter where you live that is rediculous. It is also not a learned behavior nor is it manmade. I am sorry that you obviously do not know The Lord. If you would not be such a skeptic and open your heart and ears even you too could be saved. I pray that some how you would come to know the Almighty God.

Yes I would. There are Christians and Christian outreach organizations in Saudi Arabia. More so now, than when I was a child.
A Christian is a believer and follower of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is NOT about religion; Jesus Christ IS about a personal one-on-one relationship.

There are Christian Families in Saudi Arabia and if you were born into one of those families you would be raised Christian .

Saudi Arabia is a muslim country. But there are people that have other religions.
You get a religion by either inheriting it from your parents or you change yours.
Religion teaches you alot of things including behaviour.
