That picture pretty much sums it up. If you'd never been told all those stupid stories as a child, you would not believe in it. In the UK, primary schools begin teaching and making you sing hymns and "praise" God from about 4 years of age. As children are easily influenced, I myself believed in it all for several years. When I got to around 8 years old, I thought to myself, what we are being taught is absolutely ridiculous, and as I was old enough to think for myself a bit more, I stopped believing in it and learned about science instead. Not everyone my age did the same thing, and for some reason it annoys me that because we were indoctrinated as children, we have people still believing in an outdated religion. I wasn't taught about evolution in school until I was 13/14, and I think that it's wrong that my generation went through 10 years of brainwashing before we learnt about the other point of view in any detail. Perhaps if the education system went about it in a different way it wouldn't irk me so much, but when Christianity is shoved down your throat, and they tell you ridiculous stories, it is hard not to bash it.

  • Although I'm not a religious man, I have to strongly disagree with your post. Age does not necessarily increase one's belief in science nor does it decrease one's propensity to believe in religion. There are plenty of 'born-again' Christians who find spirituality later in life. I also know for a fact that one can be religious and still be scientific; I go to an Engineering college and many of the students here are religious and I'd wager they're more 'scientific' than many atheists. Religion and science are not mutually exclusive, despite what many people seem to believe.
