I would say that this only forms the framework for their concept of god. People do generally seem to "have experiences" or work through thought processes that then confirm or deny the framework. For example, it's unlikely to be born a pagan, but very likely that a pagan will have a thoroughly "christianized" conception of paganism if they adopt it. They aren't christian, but their pagan god is often exceedingly christian. The same might be said in the reverse, that a converted pagans christian god remains exceedingly pagan (or, if you prefer, the white mans god - even if it wasn't his own..has pale skin now..like his old ones did...like they ought too..lulz). I'd say being born in some particular place helps, but doesn't go the whole nine yards.
