Genes aren't muscles. You can't give them workouts to make them more or less dominant.

What you're really campaigning for here is that spirituality isn't controlled genetically. And I might agree with you. But if it is controlled genetically, then you are completely wrong. :)
And in banks across the world
Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Jews
And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray
The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range

Actually, I suspect that like homosexuality, there is both a genetic and behavioral componant.
