Man throughout the ages has sought God; either denied it or accepted it. Atheists and communists deny it, and you accept it because you have been brought up with it. Brought up in belief, you are no more religious than someone who has been brought up in non-belief – you are all about the same. It suits you to believe in God; it doesn’t suit him to believe in God. It is a matter of your education, of your environmental and cultural influence.
