36. Many people are indoctrinated into religious worlds
they did not come to on their own or never truly believed. These are the ones that usually fall out.

There is something missing in the atheistic view of religious meaning that is not easily conveyed and cannot be forced or come by unwillingly. It takes earnest effort and humility to grasp. This is never achieved in a court of public opinion. No one will grasp it who isn't willing to wrestle with it...with an open mind, and an open heart. As long as it is seen as a delusional con-game and not something natural, it is a lost cause.
