But there are some people who changed their religion to become a muslim.
Also in the past the muslims had a big expansion after the dead of Mohammed around a huge area.
To become member of a religion you should believe this religion, you shouldn't be member of a religion when only members of your "race" are members in a religion, or when you grow up with a religion, but not sharing their beliefs
Religion is a decision of an individual not of a hole "race".
Also I personally dislike thinking to much about human "races".

I think this statement is right because the differences are not really big enough between diferent "races".
That's because they think the same way. But there are other people who feel good about being animists and never leave their conceptions derived from their thinking. But there are nuances in their thinking.
In the case of Christianity, for example, An Armenian Orthodox have a way of looking at the Gospels than those of an Irishman: Irish person sees the Gospels with a "Celtic spirit". Religion exported to distant countries "acclimated" to the contexts of others and other mentalities. and ethnic backgrounds, in my opinion, influence, because Native Americans have such psychological qualities different from an Anglo-Saxon and therefore different thought patterns.
The taste for abstract motifs are those of the Nordic peoples:

I, for one, I feel closer to an Australian Aborigine than a Muslim.

Here is a universal idea which has been realised by the most thoughtful people of every culture in human history: everything that can be destroyed by the truth should be.
I agree, but there are religions with which I identify myself and others that are absurd. I believe in divine entities, but I do not like Greek paganism because it is absurd to represent the gods in human form!! !
