I think that its an irresponcible answer to the question. Just my lowly opinion, but allow me to explain.
I was sitting in a sociology class a couple of semesters ago and the entire class was forced to answer the question of religious affiliation in a role-call manner. Most everyone claimed to be an agnostic, or atheist, or simple stated "I was raised Catholic." or "My Mother is Jewish, and my Father is Southern Baptist."
Personally, I look at my peers and see an entire generation of people who have rejected organized religion, and not without good reason. The crimes the 'Church' has perpetrated in the last few hundred years alone would make the average person quite turned off. The problem is that the fundamentalist's actions simply do not align with their own ideologies.
But I ask you this - Does that our excuse our generation from pondering the eternal questions? If you search your heart or soul or whatever you think you have you will find the answers that you seek.
Personally I'm a Christian. I was raised Pentecostal, but I do not hold to their Puritanical Dogma. I enjoy Buddhism too, as a great philosophy, but in the end, its the Christ that answered those questions for me; I don't condone every action done in the name of Christ.
