I've seen so many young kids who end up getting baptized or confirmed or whatever the dogmatic process is for your religion just because of their impressionable youth, peer pressure, conformity, parental pressure, etc.

I truely don't believe any person can make a true free will, volitional, and rational choice about this until they reach their 20s and escape some of the smothering culture of organized religion and their oft-stale social and intellectual circles.
