Well guys: I added up the results after 90 posts and now we are up to 134. Just glancing at them tells me my theory holds water, at least in our little JWD world.
If you were raised "in", especially in a "theocratic" family, chances are you'll end up an unbeliever.
Take a count yourselves if you do not believe me.

Hi,
OK on with the answers!
1- No
2- N/A
3- Well I am not religious. I follow the Bible and "religion" is mentioned only 6 times. "Faith" is mentioned 422 times and my faith is solely in Jesus, not in any religion. I am a born again Christian, just as Jesus told Nicodemus to be.
Sorry 3 isn't a simple answer but I hope the explanation helps.
All the best,
Stephen
