I do not want to follow a religion simply becasue that ancenstors followed it. Our ancestors believed in many superstitions. And they have been proved false now. Should I still believe them? You must have heard in Tamilnadu people said that there is a old woman in the moon. Now we know that it is nothing but an image of ups and downs in the moon.
And it is not wise to attribute a religion to a particular country. Religion has no boundaries: state,country,continent,etc.
