I personally don't like the term "religion" because
it is usually tied to a fixed set of man-made concepts.
So, I refer to the topic as "beliefs".
BUT .. I know what you're asking in general.
I like that quote you have listed .. LOL!
So, I think that it must first be Faith . . .
then it becomes Fact to those who truly have Faith.
That is how it happened with me.
My mind was first opened to the possibilities . . .
then I had Faith that they could be . . .
then I was drawn closer and had a greater understanding . . .
then I saw the facts.
Each step of the way my Faith became easier
because my understanding became greater.
Wisdom is worth much more than wealth.
If you have any specific question about my answer or anything else,
I'll be happy to give details.
AND . . . what are your thoughts about an answer to your own question ??
