[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, its all based on faith.  You either have it or you dont.  I for one dont, but I do not doubt those who do.[/quote]

This misses the source of faith, though.

That "faith" is something that rarely occurs in the absence of parents *explicitly* imposing it on their children.  This is why religious parents are so desperate to inculcate their beliefs on their children at a very early age.  Every religious leader in history has demanded parents do this as well.  And it's a core duty of any religious parent because, without such early training, it would be rare for a child to come to such beliefs on their own. Not a general moral framework, but the actual mythology in great detail.  Then they're shocked that their children come to have a fervent belief in the same mythology with which they've been inculcated.

Absent that quite explicit religious instruction, children are just as likely to attach to just about any fantastical story--or no story at all.
