I'd say "luck" probably does play a role at least with some people. But it's also life experiences I think, that may lead someone to believe/disbelieve certain things.
I agree that sometimes a person can't really help it if they do/don't believe in something. Even if they want to or don't want to.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
