    I find this a seemingly straight-forward point I’ve never gotten a religious person to acknowledge.

    99.99999% of people follow the religion they do because their parents did. Not because it’s true. That Christian, that Hindu, that Jew. It’s just because they were told it was true at birth.

    If their religion was actually the Truth, why would that be the case…?

      I wouldn’t make it that high. A large amount of Christians I know of are converts.
