An accident of birth
I once worked with an old fart that strongly believed in Adam and Eve, the Ark, etc.
I put it to him that he was only a Christian because of where he was born. If he'd been born in India he may well have been a Hindu, stating quite different beliefs.
His response was that he'd "Have known it wasn't quite right" and that "He'd have sought out Christianity" anyway!
This is the same man that when talking about Pagan gods, he referred to them as mythical.
"Surely they were around before Christianity" I said.
"Oh no", he replied, "My God created the earth, so he must have been around before them".
Sometimes all you can do is sit and cry. And these people are allowed to vote!?!
