I brought this subject up on a christian site once, suggesting that their 'chosen' religion was a direct result of their birthplace (mainly southern US I think) and parental belief system. I suggested that, if they had been in Yemen, Saudi et al, they would likely be Muslim. Without exception, they refuted this citing cases of christians in those countries as proof they too would have found the 'one true faith'. The cognitive dissonance can be a powerful force as we know.
It requires the theist to apply some introspection that would lead to questions that would lead to doubt and they avoid that at all costs.
