Religiosity is partly a learned behavior.Whether parents give a child a religious upbringing is likely to have a lasting impact on the child.

Research has shown that religiosity is influenced by multiple factors, including upbringing, socialization, culture, and personal experiences. Children who are raised in a religious household are more likely to adopt religious beliefs, practices, and values than those who are not. Thus, religiosity is partly a learned behavior, and parents can have a lasting impact on the religious beliefs and practices of their children.
