(37,167 posts)3. I think there is a gene for it.
Any trait that crosses all of time and all cultures, is Nature and not Nurture. Learned that in my science classes (Anthropology). That doesn't mean it can't be countered with knowledge, just not easy. Best chancel, might be non-theist religions, as found in some Eastern philosophies. Even those are called religions. Best way to change minds is by starting with something you can both agree on. It's counter productive to call them names.
Just my opinion, nothing more. I don't believe in gods, but I call myself a Humanist.
