Young worshipers should therefore read their holy books to decide for themselves whether they are practicing the right religion, one that they can embrace. This is the personal responsibility of every worshiper, and the powers that be in every religion should respectfully allow their members to do some exploring of their own, on their own. That way, they know of their own volition what brings them closer to their deity, and know that they can still turn to their houses of worship whenever they are lost. At an early age, their religion helps define who young believers are through baptisms, bar mitzvahs, and the like, providing them with a bedrock with which to start their devotional journey. It follows that their faith-based communities would support them in this endeavor, and not attempt to pigeonhole them when they are coming into their own relationship with God. Otherwise, they simultaneously define the faith and lose ground.
