Lifelong Christian here, earned Ph.D in Theology, with a lifetime of amazing experiences that only confirm the reality of God. Son-in-law is atheist, have spent many hours in discussion. Not interested in fruitless argumentation. Just food for thought.
What this demonstrates is that there's some genetic component that pre-disposes one towards belief, whether it is religion, creed, or ideals. Of course, this trait is probably rooted in proto-human group formation, where tribal allegiances and demands for cohesion presented significant environmental pressures to conform. Regardless, it indicates that belief is a heritable condition, one where you are either born that way or not.
What I personally find interesting is that humanity is clearly on the cusp of not only fully understanding brain/body DNA, but will shortly be able to manipulate, correct & repair. So, the 64k question will become: would a religious person such as yourself be willing to undergo such a procedure if it resulted in the loss of faith? The corollary would be, how many atheists would willingly alter their DNA so they too could feel the rush of uninhibited faith?
