13. Children aren't born with a religion

The only way they can get one is through evangelism. Without evangelism, no organized religion can survive one generation absent the almighty himself miracle-ing some new ones up.

I tend to use Websters most prominent listing for the definition, albeit it applies exclusively to Christianity:

evangelism
noun evan·ge·lism \i-ˈvan-jə-ˌli-zəm\
Definition of EVANGELISM
1
: the winning or revival of personal commitments to Christ

YMMV
