I think it's funny you chose only religious examples of this phenomena. Atheists aren't excluded. Surely not every single atheist in Europe or Canada or the west coast came to atheism without some influence of their own surroundings. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding this.

I guess conformity to science (without sufficient knowledge in any particular discipline of science) is an example of some atheists "suffering" this phenomena.

Yeah, atheist are not excluded. But I assume, the social pressure is HUGE in a theocracy compared to a more individualistic society.
