Answer 1

Sometimes religion scares people away from God. Try Deism. It makes more sense.

do not try Deism, because she told you to, just go with your heart, and that person shouldn't try and tell you what to do. and it doesnt scare people away, it makes them happier, its their own choice.

Answer 2

Deuteronomy 6:6,7 brings out that God ordered the Israelites to teach their children God's ways from early on. And verse 5 says that parents must love Jehovah their God with all their heart and soul, and that they must inculcate this in their children. In other words, first the parents must believe and obey God, and thus they can teach their children to also love God.

Belief in God starts at home. Those who grow up in a religious household will usually be religious when they are older. Of course, there are exceptions, but this is generally the case.
