In high school, I chose to attend church with my friend and become a pentecostal christian. Later in life, i chose to be an agnostic. Then I chose to be a Wiccan. Then I chose to be an atheist. I believe people choose whether or not to believe in the supernatural.

When I stated that it could be any number of factors, I was referring to outside environmental sources such as the influence of friends, the media, teachers, or even an internet forum.
