my personal observation regarding the beliefs we take up or give up are related to some extent by the company we keep.
For example my wife when we first arrived in Canada started socializing with Christians just to get know people in the community. Next thing I know she starts taking lessons to get baptized. I was the one who was baptized, confirmed and wanted to get married in a church. My wife wanted a registry ceremony.
For me it was the opposite, the people I associated with were silent regarding their beliefs. So the whole religion/god aspect of my life, I realized, was totally unnecessary.
