Would that all people were so lucky.

I certainly was, so I don't know why it makes me emotional that others are. I don't think I'd ever feel scared if I had one belief or another to say "Hey Mommy, I've decided that I'm a *insert religion here*". Even with my dad, who was, as I recollect, very strongly areligious, I don't think I could ever be scared to say "look, I'm not". (As it happens, I am agnostic, despite my abiding interest in religions, but that's really not important for this discussion here.)
