I would have to say that most people have their religion chosen for them by their family, but those that change religion to a religion of their choice when they grow older would do so for a variety of reasons, such as convenience (i.e. they go to the local church), they change to their spouses religion, they rebel against their upbringing, and also they feel the spirit and follow the promptings of that spirit.

I think that unless someone has made a HUGE impact on your life, most follow the religion that their previous generations followed.

Family by birth; Christians by popularity & acceptance; Hindus by choice; and Muslims by force. What are you subjected to?
