Religion is a hereditary disease in that you get it from your parents. The ability to believe fairy tales to be true requires childhood indoctrination and this is why so many believe in "something out there" despite the complete lack of any evidence. Of the books you mention, they all contain a lot of good things and a lot of bad things. If any of them were written today, they'd all be banned from schools (and frankly wouldn't get published without a serious editing).
