Is easy to see that the religion of someone depends mostly of where they are born, if someone is born in Saudi Arabia I can make a highly accurate claim -without knowing anything else about them- that they are going to be muslims, of course in some places is easier to be a skeptical teenager but thats a freedom of modern times with modern civilizations, but even there the religion of your parents is a pretty good guess of what your religion will be.

> if someone is born in Saudi Arabia I can make a highly accurate claim -without knowing anything else about them- that they are going to be muslims What percentage of Saudis are totally convinced Islam is true, as opposed to simply paying lip service to it out of social and legal compulsion? Very hard question to answer, even if someone says "Yes", some of those "Yes" will be honest, others driven by fear. (In Saudi Arabia, atheism and apostasy from Islam both carry the death penalty.) Where you are born very often determines labels, but there is a big difference between a convinced/devout believer, and a person for whom their religion is just a cultural/ethnic group membership marker.
