Do you think? Most people believe things without examining them.
Of course, some people believe what they believe after examining it. The greatest problem, I suspect, is that it is hard to free ourselves and be objective about what we were indoctrinated with originally.
I suppose that those who were indoctrinated with something closer to the truth have a less traumatic journey than those indoctrinated with something farther separated from the truth.
For example, in this forum we are all (presumably) monotheists. In others, atheism is the norm. We split hairs here. In other places, it is more like cutting wood.
