I'm asking what is the best explanation out there with regards to world views to why we chose the religion of our parents 90% of the time.

That is the most probably the religion you have the most exposure to, and since you have been brought up being told x religion is true, that is the one you would most likely accept.

Someone brought up in a christian country, for example, without access to information on other religions (as was the case for most of history), is not going to turn round one day and start shouting "praise ganesh!" are they?
