I would argue that if you grew up in a place like Iran, I would find it difficult to believe that if you were totally surrounded by muslims and the islamic faith, you would even contemplate another religion.
So I think that some people are a victim of circumstance where they are surrounded by a religion from birth (like many others) and know of only one way. Its more than a religion to some, its their culture. Something they don't usually choose in the first place, nor do they choose to change.
