Why is belief in God or gods so popular?
Many people in the world today say that they believe in gods or a god or the one God. There are different possible explanations for this. The fact that many people are taught that god or gods exist from an early age is certainly part of the explanation of why many people believe in some sort of god.
It is a matter of fact that people, if they are religious,
are most likely to believe in the religion that they were taught as
a child. That ought to make them wonder whether their belief really
is in an existent god or more a matter of following the local custom,
tradition and rituals. But some people are brought up in such a way
that they are prevented from questioning such matters.
