That's not good enough, there has to be deeper reasons : genetics,
psychological enviroment, neural networks etc. I'm starting to suspect
that there's a statistical probability of someone being born with a mind
that would find theism acceptable (the majority) while there's a lesser
chance the person will gravitate towards atheism. We all agree on the
MEME theory but we need to go further to look for that elusive "why"
accept/reject this meme or that meme.
