No, they didn't choose to be born into their religion or culture, but they do choose to remain in their religion or culture. That would be called "through fault of their own" nothing negative implied by this, of course. If a person wishes to be a religious conservative in a secular liberal society they are free to do so. Plenty of these people about Vinny.

What kind of special attention should be given, btw, the kind of special attention we see so often from conservative religious societies? Oh, whats the word..ah yes, persecution.
