"I'm not so sure 'everyone is receptive to what they like' necessarily translates to choosing a faith." - Bee

Well, it may. But when I said that everyone has faith...I didn't necessarily mean that they subscribe to what you would term "a faith" in the sense of an organized religion. I merely mean that there are a whole bunch of things they may or may not have faith in...(like: money, good looks, sex appeal, intimidation, the government, the military, romantic love, marriage, popularity, the stock market, their parents, the Encyclopedia Brittanica, their priest, their rabbi, their Imam, their "good luck", science, Robert's Rules of Order, logic, the Shriners, the Republican or Democratic parties, the strength of their own right arm, etc...ad infinitum...).......and those things that they have the most faith in will have a very powerful effect on how they see and interpret life and what they believe and don't believe.

It's all religious, in a sense...or it isn't. ;-) Depends on how you look at it.
