Premise 1: Religion is an expression, in part, to the culture of that region.
premise 2 : no religion is verifable as any more true or valid than any other religion by virtue of faith:
If you agree generally with premise # 1 and # 2 and you choose to not practice the dominant religion of that region why?
For instance if you are a non-christian theist in the USA and accept the premises stated why? If you are a muslim in India why? A pagan in canada why?
I ask because by choosing a religion of minority status you are putting yourself in that area of "believer" but still outsider to the norm. If you buy into premise number two what other factors persuaded you to choose a religion that is outside the majority?
I put this in the debate section in the theory that descent in both the premises presented and the reasons articulated for choosing a minority religion would be a natural output of the thread itself.
