A generalisation since not everyone chooses what and what not to believe in. Sometimes people mature and develop their own beliefs without peer pressure, however, in most cases its childhood religious indoctrination that determines what faith-based system one adopts without question.

Yes. That's your right of entitlement, your privilege.
