This is shown through statistics that say if you grew up in the US you most likely will be Christian, where as if you grew up inthe middle east you most likely will be Muslim. If people were using reason to believe in these religions, and if it was not culturally based, the beliefs would be random across the globe, or one main belief across the globe like it is in science.In childhood indoctrination they are taught to abandon their reasoning on this, just have faith, and not question God's laws since childhood, and the fear of hell is also indoctrinated into them. So people can be very smart on other subjects, but just subconsciously abandon their reasoning on this one subject.</blockquote>
