Is one's basis for a belief a post rationalization of one's existing beliefs, carried out long after such beliefs are deeply ingrained? (e.g. Religion drilled in as a child, basis for belief only examined later in life). Or is it more innate? e.g. in our genes? If it is a post rationalization, then is it really a basis for belief at all? If so, is that basis used consistently through-out one's life, and if not, is it anything other than a device used to feel good about some particular faiths? What would it mean to have multiple bases for belief?
