didn't actually understand what they believed
And I think that's why a lot of people tend to be less religious nowadays. Religion isn't meant to be fully understood, and many people don't like that. In the world we live in, everyone wants definitive answers. 2 + 2 = 4. The Moon is 238,900 miles from Earth. Religion on the other hand, is always up to interpretation. What does the story of Adam and Eve eating the fruit of good and evil about? Religion is what you make of it, and most people don't want to put in the extra effort to figure out what it means for them. To me, being a Christian is a form of solace. I find peace knowing that I'm know the greatest thing in the universe and that the greatest thing (God) has got my back.
