My family are all atheists, I never felt I needed to check it out.

@SW-User Surely faith will start somewhere in your family?

@Silverwings Maybe, if so, it's taking its sweet time on showing up. lol.

@SW-User Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God, so which comes first the hearing or faith?

@Silverwings I think faith would come first, you got to have some of it in you to seek it out and take it in. Most of the time, that catalyst comes from people's family, you have faith in them to look after you and teach you the world whilst you are vulnerable. Then I guess religion could be a gateway to those simpler times in a complicated and confusing world.
