So far in our discussions, you keep referring to data, but never supply it.
Do a little research on Jesuits. And while you are at it, find the link where the current pope says that the attempts to legalize marriage equality is the work of the devil.
There are many reasons people may or may not stay in the religion of their parents. There are also reasons they tend to stay in the same communities, go to the same schools, take the same kinds of vacations, speak the same language, drink or don't drink, like adventure, etc. Your theory is that is about indoctrination, while the truth probably is more about what is known and familiar.
Of course religious beliefs impact on individuals in negative ways. I have never argued that they don't and clearly made that the exception to the rule of being tolerant of others beliefs.
Here we go. Yes, I am most assuredly feigning ignorance, staggeringly naive, spouting bullshit and have no relevant point or argument.
Descent into the ad hom is a sure sign of having failed in your debate.
See you around the campfire.
