I think how you were raised is the biggest factor for most theists.
​
As for people that choose a religion as an adult, it seems to be a matter of preference. Whichever religion's ideologies seem to be most compatible with the person's constitution.
I don't know that anyone conducts scientific research in order to reach a logical conclusion about which god is real, because most people that value both scientific research and logic don't believe in gods.

Well I'm pretty sure the first part of the sentence is true, and the second part may have been a bit of an exaggeration.

Actually, on backtracking, I found it was Deftil (post 14), but as long as you are in accord with the sentiment I agree, it doesn't matter who originally said it.
HI!!!!!
​
It was me, Deftil, that said the quote that was mistakenly attributed to Agobot, then to Mylakovich, and then correctly to me.
​
Clarification on the meaning and the literal accuracy of the quote in question is discussed in the 4 posts that follow the one I made containing that quote, and those posts begin with Message 15.
