Bolded: That is not true, they have simply decided not to teach story books as facts. Empirical evidence is required. |
Is it only because parents teach their kids to believe in Islam, or is it because the broader society and culture is so deeply Islamic? Strict, conservative parents don't have a good track record of preventing their children from doing what they ultimately want to do in liberal, pleasure-seeking societies. Teenagers naturally rebel against their parents, and at that stage of life peer pressure is at least as strong as parental pressure.
Besides, the fact that apostasy carries the death penalty in Saudi Arabia should tell you that it is not exactly a free society. If you were going to die for saying the wrong thing about a religion, you might find that you're far less likely to critically examine it, let alone to voice any criticisms you might have of it.
