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.

Because our parents tell us it's right. That's it. Really it's very simple.

It's also why it's so obviously not a GOOD reason. If there were a good reason, it would be cross cultural.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
