In isolated societies creeds can be preserved. It is where people of different traditions, outlook and creeds mingle freely and exchange ideas that religious beliefs begin to be eroded.

Only when they are brought into contact with persons whom they respect holding different views do they begin to look at their inherited beliefs critically.
