You do realise that if you were born in Saudi Arabia you would be a Muslim?
Your faith depends on where you were born, so how do you know your right?
You can't all be!
Including your parents.
Yeh, it's a choice 'technically'
How is flawed thinking?
Go to the Middle East and all you will see is Muslims, go to the midwest and all you will see is Christians.
Sorry but location is the main determiner of what religion you will be.

I could be raised Catholic, and not be Catholic today.
That is a rather hard deterministic approach to religion - but I agree, that you would most likely (or more likely at least) be Muslim if you were born in a Islamic state.
EDIT: Other social factors (further education, Mormon missionaries, family/upbringing, etc) have a very strong play as well (not just where you happen to live)

Yeah well, so? You're saying it like it's a totally new discovery.
If someone was raised by in a city full of crimes and gang violence, and the one who raised him was involved in these crimes, there's a big chance he'll grow up to be a criminal and a gangster.

God sits in perfect judgment. You don't think He takes such things into account? I'm pretty sure He has this all figured out. Just because you don't, doesn't mean He doesn't exist.
You can ask Him when you get the chance.
