Of course, the majority of those people will say it isn't so but that's one of the characteristics of being conditioned.
That's all religion is for the most part. There can be no one true religion. People say they feel the holy spirit in them and that is why their religion is better than somebody elses. Watch Jesus Camp, it is a truely shocking documentary. Watch how the kids are 'touched by the spirit' or how one girl thinks God tells her which people to go up to and try and convert. All the while their parents or 'pastor' is telling them what is happening. Children are a blank canvas, and to be honest I think to an extent everyone should be able to raise kids how they want, but now it's crossing over into schools? Religion is and always has been personal, even the Bible says there should be no mass church going especially not for a Sunday service for example but I won't go into that.
