Agreed. Just talking about my own personal experience. That being said, religious environments that impose these world views on people have a much higher success rate at having people think about these things than they would in almost any other way (even if they accomplish this by making people rebel against religion). They're certainly not going to get that from the media and pop culture. It's interesting that the most philosophically profound individuals I've met (again, personal experience) are mostly people who were religious and then abandoned their fate. I think that has to do with the combination of wanting to rebel against the imposition of those beliefs with trying to somehow find something to substitute it.
