    I notice a significant pattern, children who have the Bible and the Faith duck pressed into them as kids grow up hateful and eventually leave Christianity as a whole, whilst people that found the Faith themselves as either kids, teens, adults, dont usually leave Christianity and have thus have a higher chance of actually receiving the Holy Spirit instead of viewing Church and Mass as “boring” and quitting. Kids will hate whatever theyre forced to do and grow up to hate it, so dont force them to read the Bible or go to Mass, suggest it to them, give them the pros and cons and let them decide

      There’s plenty of people that get raised xtian and stay there for the remainder of their life growing up to become hateful bigots. There’s also plenty of people who become xtians later in life as an outsider and start adopting problematic views when they do so. Which are just as significant patterns.

      A significant pattern doesn’t mean a statistical majority.
