Is the super natural too complicated? Perhaps it is good to follow the path of your ancestors? If the spiritual complain, you could say, that’s where you put me. On the other hand, if your ancestors say that someone else’s ancestors are wrong, maybe they are wrong?
Could the spiritual expect you to look? Did it give you the tools to find it? Did you try to use the tools you were given? If you read this blog you obviously have. I’m not sure if your ancestors were wrong, but did you attempt to authenticate what they said?
So far we discussed these motives for following religion. Do you know of any more? Do any reasons apply to you?
1) Like answers
2) Imagination
3) Continue earlier belief

Is it righteous to continue the belief of your ancestors?

No but it is definitely advantageous. I could have resisted going to church every Sunday with my family but they probably would have dragged me there anyway. So it was best that I went with them to keep the peace.
If you are a Muslim you don't seem to have any choice but to continue practicising Islam. Think about all those women killed every year in so called honour killings as a consequence of consorting with a man of a different faith or sect.
This compulsion in religion is wrong. Everyone must be free to choose what they believe in whether that be religion, science or nothing at all. They should also be free of any punishments resulting from their choice.
It is not a sin to choose to be Godless. Why? Because personal behaviour and morality has nothing to do with the belief in a God or a practising of a faith.
