if you cant start or stop, how do you become religious in the first place? equally, how do people stop being religious after a length of belief?

I don't think it's a conscious decision. Of course you can stop being religious, just as you can stop being depressed. Lots of people never suffer from a real deperession either, but that doesn't make it a "take it or leave it" thing.

Not to mention falling out of love.

People's minds are silly and this whole "free will" thing is annoying as f*ck
