Is it a result of family upbringing or does it come from experiencing something specific in their life that makes them believe? Or what? I stress that I'm not criticising any Christians for what they believe, I'm just curious as to why.

For me it is both reasons. I believe because mt mom taught me and brought me up well. I also believe because of everything that has happened to me in life. I have had a pretty crazy life so far. Faith is what keeps me goin. Thanks for not being a dick
