If pushed to say who would be more receptive I would say those who had been previously exposed to religion, however I'm not privy to all of what God does or can do.

I was thinking that may be the case, at least to some degree, while acknowledging that there are several other factors involved. 
My question was never meant get to pigeonhole anyone. I'm just interested in hearing  theistic opinions/perspectives on the matter. Thanks for responding.

Yes there's more to all this than my simple explanation, any time you have questions or curiosity about things just let me know and I'll try to answer.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
