So I think that some people are a victim of circumstance where they are surrounded by a religion from birth (like many others) and know of only one way. Its more than a religion to some, its their culture. Something they don't usually choose in the first place, nor do they choose to change.
So what??? It is still a choice. RMS was arguing that you can't help what race you are. But you can choose what religion. No one is saying you have to change your religion either....just respect others....they are free to practce the religion themselves......driving someone in their vehicle is not against their religion...unless they have a very extreme view of it.
