| RJ_Sizzle said: Spirituality is not in our blood, though we are biologically tuned to succumb to certain sociological functions. Humans will always form beliefs based on whether they're right or not. So, you can be born gay, but, you're not born to hate homosexuality, or pray on a carpet five times daily. Mass religious belief has to be taught, or influenced. Most societies go beyond religious text to decide what's best for society as a whole. Even non-secular nations cant adhere to theocracy 100 percent of the time, they'd never get anywhere. |
As a person who grew up without religion (and also, not knowing what religion was for much of my childhood), I agree. People don't inherently know that they are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. It's not until someone else tells them that they are. Also, I think spirituality is not the right word. Imagination is the more fitting term since it requires that to form concepts of a god, spirits, charms, and so forth.
