Religion is any cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, world views or organizations, that relate humans to the supernatural or life after death.
In my opinion, people should be able to choose their own religion because in choosing for yourself, it makes it relevant in your life and experiencing it more enjoyable.
The first argument is that religion has a bigger impact in your life if it’s your own choice to believe in it because it gives you a sense of control and it’s what you think it’s right for you. For example, if someone thinks that the religion that they were born in doesn’t conform with what they believe in they should have the right to choose what fits them because it doesn’t help neither of the sides to grow themselves.
The second argument is that choosing for yourself involves picking what fits with your belief system, increasing the chance that you will be content because it dodges the dissatisfaction of someone else making the wrong choice for you. For example, there are people that were raised as catholics and dread going to a Catholic Church because they don’t believe in what is done there and it wasn’t their decision to be a part of this when they were kids. If given the chance to experience another religion and find that it fits them, they should be able to choose the best for them.
However, for some people being introduced in a religion from a young age is a good thing because it’s hard to know what you want until you had contact with it and religion is not as relevant as it used to be in the past for people, making it harder to be motivated to try by yourself.
In conclusion, people should be able to choose their own religion because it makes it more meaningful and enjoyable to experience it.
