Turning to religious creeds is a human behavior is it not?

As I said, I think the answer to the question of why people turn to religious creeds may perhaps lay in anthropology and psychology.

Whatever!

People "turn to religions" to bring meaning to their lives, and to feel closer to God.

This isn't a test tube in a laboratory. This is life. People want to know why they exist and how they got here. Your simplification of the reasons why people turn to religion is superficial.

Forgiveness of sins is in the realm of God, not man. Only God ...[text shortened]... n't know that? You obviously never believed a word of it! And certainly never really understood.

I second that.
