Most people believe Christ rose from the dead, polls say

48. How do people in this same group view other resurrection stories, I wonder

To me, it's blatantly obvious that if you teach a child from a very young age that something happened and that their eternal life relies upon believing this - they're going to believe it.

it's insurance.

but I wonder how these same people react to stories from other cultures and times that tell the same or similar stories? do they believe all of those stories, too?

If not, why not? - The "why not," to me, is because they weren't taught to believe them, to view those other cultures as valid, to have permission from their own culture to deny every bit of reality that they must otherwise accept to make decisions and function within their physical world. The "why not" is also about creating a privileged view of one's cultural myths.

On the other hand, if they do believe the other resurrection stories, their culture's story isn't all that special and so why would any of the fundamental principles of science that undergird the workings of the world matter?

My own move away from religious belief was triggered by the realization that I was taught within the cocoon of my culture to believe things that I knew were absolutely ridiculous when I could examine them without the emotional investment of the belief I was told was necessary to prevent that great fear of consciousness - death.
