have you guys always been religious from birth or some incident influenced you? i was pretty irreligious until 9th grade when my grandfather passed away which changed me a lot motivating me into hindu spirituality.

Religions thrive on ignorance. The more ignorant you are, the more money they make. Gods make you and the universe but in the process went bankrupt. So they need your money.
