As a writer, I strive to be able to communicate in a way that is very clear. I could have written that sentence in a different way - made it third person.

I have used the word 'we' to form a bond with my readers so that they do not feel judged as in 'you lot.' :)

I could have said something like, "People in general pick up their ways of behaving from others. They also pick up ideas of how they should behave. This doesn't mean that they do behave that way. It just means that they generally recognise that there is a way that they are supposed to behave, and this way does not necessarily come from a religious source."
