We notice differences between people (no two are alike) and as we grow older, we may come to feel that we have gained some wisdom from our observations. So, too, we notice differences and similarities in religions, both Abrahamic, Vedic and Animist. A study of people is not a rigorous science but life is less successful without such a study. And as Carl Jung observed, those who do not settle the "religion" question by mid-life are more apt to suffer some psychopathology. A ballast  is only a bunch of rocks and soil but it helps the ship stay on a steady course.
