And don't forget, God forbid, if you try to think independently rather than what you were blindly born into, there's a figure behind and responsible for this influencing you called Satan. How convenient! Good way to keep people locked into and not deviate away from the doctrine.

Also the fact that we will be punished for the very things and flaws that make us human, including the very fact of not knowing better and being born into and following the 'wrong' religion. Sounds very fair to me.

I genuinely believe that a few hundred years from now, especially as the level of education becomes higher and we know more about science and our universe, the majority of people will be non-religious. There's already a significant shift in many countries.
