But just because someone is brought up in a religious home, doesn't mean they continue being religious. At least half of kids who attend church in high school drop out of church in their 20's and 30's. Some choose to continue.

The author doesn't seem to think so.

It's not hard to find stuff like this:

I think a lot has to do with how things are defined, etc.

I hope people become more conservative and religious. kj.

No, I hope they don't become indoctrinated with religion. The biggest fault with religion is that it makes a virtue out of faith and faith is believing something without evidence, which is essentially ignorance.

I hope they learn to think for themselves.

A little spirituality wouldn't hurt.
People like to think the religious operate on faith only, which is ridiculous really. Faith in God is encouraged, but that doesn't mean faith in "everything" is encouraged. There have been millions of religious critical thinkers. kj.
