 A persons receptiveness is due to their own desire to know, most people are not going to consider salvation unless they see it might be a good thing and no one is going to make a decision for salvation without the convection of the Holy Spirit (calling of the Father). If pushed to say who would be more receptive I would say those who had been previously exposed to religion, however I'm not privy to all of what God does or can do.

I was thinking that may be the case, at least to some degree, while acknowledging that there are several other factors involved. 
My question was never meant get to pigeonhole anyone. I'm just interested in hearing  theistic opinions/perspectives on the matter. Thanks for responding.
