Here's a question for the "believers" in any god. Why do you believe? Think on this. One, if not the primary factor that maintains religious belief, practice and adherence is "programming from birth". "Intensive sustained brainwashing", is the key phrase for the success of ALL religions. Our birth geography will for the most part determine what religious belief system we (as infants and young children) will be unwillingly indoctrinated into. All religions are completely invented by humans (primarily men) to try to explain gaps in our knowledge, understanding of the positive and negative experiences of life. Unwillingly indoctrinated (by parents, trusted caregivers) from infancy, under the "super glue" influence of extended family, schools, churches, religious instruction, all with continuous repetition for that shiny "stainless steel" finish of reinforcement. Religion is then used to control and manipulate people's lives through threats of punishment, fear of abandonment (current life and eternity) and post-life promises of utopian reward; all in the absence of reasonable, verifiable evidence (faith is fear masquerading as virtue). Sustained life long indoctrination and reinforcement is key to the success and longevity of religion. The really good news is, all religion is simply myth, fable, fantasy and fairytale! That's what religion is, was and will be, forever and ever. Amen. 😊
