Welcome to the seriously fucked up world of theology, sophisticated or otherwise.

The proper way to read a scholarly work is from beginning to end, taking notes, and occasionally consulting references. Scanning for content is a poor way to read anything serious, even on the internet. You might want to consider that your study habits are insufficient for educating yourself beyond the most shallow understanding.

Now tell me, how many Christians 'are' Christians due to reading Alvin Plantinga? As opposed to being Christians via having the silver chain yoked around their necks at four years old?

While that may not be the most common path to conversion, it does happen. At the same time there is nothing wrong with being born into a tradition, exploring it deeply, and weighting it on its merits. People like that, the kind who don't just scan for content that confirms what they already believe, are not the kind who just accept what has been presented to them. YMMV
