In a general sense, do you think that a previous history of religious belief makes a person more likely or less likely to be receptive to the message you want to convey?
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.
