I'm a bit surprised with the number of religious people I know irl tbh. I've only met maybe one other atheist at school. These people realized that their ancestors believed in another religion and were probably killed and forced to convert right? Probably about half are actually just agnostic and the remaining full believers.

I mean I'm not trying to convert anybody I'm just tryna understand why.

When you grow up in the church, it's all you know. Not believing isn't even a thought. Sure, the Bible/church might mention non-believers, but either in a "convert them" sense or a "they will be punished" sense.
