I didn't want to come off as condescending, but your original comment was formed in such a way that it would lead to misunderstanding since you only mentioned the heritage part, which IMO should not be the most important aspect of picking a religion.

I don't have any religious heritage myself. I was raised by agnostic and completely irreligious parents, although I did go to a catholic school growing up. I'm an atheist myself but I understand why people feel drawn to religions and why believing in a higher power makes certain aspects of life easier. I've studied religions quite a bit though, and as a philosophy and way of life I tend to agree more with the teachings of Christianity. At least I like to think that is my rationale speaking and not simply my upbringing.
