I became an atheist when I was 14 years old and I was forced to attend confirmation. I asked questions repeatedly about simple obvious things such as dinosaurs and how did they get on that ark, what about kangaroos did that ark get all the away to Australia, lots of obvious questions. I was kicked out of confirmation for asking too many questions. My Father thought it was hilarious at the time, then my parents divorced and he, who joked about how stupid religion is, then married his second wife who was evangelical, suddenly, he was a believer. Interesting, here is a person who, jokeed about how religion was for people with weak minds, suddenly becomes a true believer. My conclusion, from this and a lot of other examples I could bored everyone with, people "believe" when it benefits them, financially, socially, emotionally, sexually, etc.
