That's what Christianity is not. But, of course, the emotions also play a part in the religious experience of many believers.![]()
______________________________when people believe in things without evidence.. they are left no way to accurately judge whether or not what they believe reflects how things really are.. their beliefs must then be based on feelings and emotion or the unquestioned authority of something or somebody else, not evidence..

^ Hence, the importance of study. The study of one's faith, the study of philosophy, the study of the sciences, etc.
But many people don't come to a knowledge of God through the intellectual route, I think. They experience many things in their lives and they come to a realization of certain things. At a certain point, they decide what role faith or unbelief in God play in their lives, or even if it matters at all.
faith may not be a chemical reaction but man's instinct to believe in something and the desire to belong to a following IS an instinct.![]()
