    The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!

    Atheism is not a conscious decision or a belief but a realisation, those that cannot escape remain prisoners of their conditioning!

    Therefore the higher the class, the better the education, the bigger the intellect the greater chance to discover the truth and live in reality!

    In western civilization, the high class tends to be Christian. As a general rule, you would probably have to claim Christianity as you present religion to be elected to high office.

    I was thinking that your parents example is the most important thing.

    I know that my parents set a good example until my fifth grade year, and then I was sent to public school and stopped going to church.

    It was a real battle to drag me back.

    No it doesn't. Jesus Christ taught us to love one another, be altruistic and He let us know that no matter who we are, we are worthy. Class doesn't matter.

    Back 500 years ago, if one was not doing as the Catholic religion required the person was often put to death! The people that settled in America, came to get away from the Catholic's very Disobeying of the Bible ways!
