religion as an inherited trait is a fact. I wonder what can you have meant.

  Really? Where on the chromosome do the "religious" genes lie? Even if you mean "inherited" as in "taught by parents"... you realize that not all atheists are born to atheists, right?

      I have no idea what you meant, or what you mean, but looking over your two posts I realize that's because you haven't actually said anything other than your claim. Anything to back it up? Concrete please, not incredulity or parsing my posts.

  Both you and parent would do better providing citations to back up your assertions. I suspect however that the person you are responding to may have an easier time of it.

    I'll do that. Edit: 1 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15745438 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15745438 http://www.apa.org/monitor/apr04/beliefs.aspx http://www.apa.org/monitor/apr04/beliefs.aspx Those percentages speak for themselves, and they're not screaming "heritability". They speak to a strong environmental element, but that aspect seems to change over time. Mind you, environment is more than just parents.
