I believe a lot of people are basically brainwashed into their religion, and that many people do believe they will go to heaven and all that. Their belief system is a way of life for them.
That being said I was raised catholic and went to a catholic school for 13 years and i basically call myself an atheist now.

Depends what aspects of it are impossible to disprove though, the bible tells us were descended from adam and eve, science says otherwise. Theres absoloutely no proof we're descended from 2 people that according to the bible was essentially 1 person, plenty of proof that we evolved from being animals though.
Thats just another one of those things though, do you take it literally and assume adam and eve were human or is adam and eve just a name for something else? Thats probably the kind of argument someone who strongly believed in religion would come back with though.
