I mean if you have two people, one a raised witness and one who's adopted it later in life, isn't the religion itself going to have a different meaning. The person who adopts it later in life can't have the same feelings/meaning/thoughts about that religion as the person who's been raised on it.....

right?

Problem with that is that people who find it later in life usually find it for the wrong reasons and go way overboard. I have an aunt who used to be an alcoholic...and I mean HARDCORE alcoholic for like 10 or 15 years. When I was about 10 or so she cleaned up and "found god". Now she's waaaay too into it. By that I mean she's lost sight of the teachings that religion is supposed to inspire and has gone off into this totally right wing frenzy. Can't even have a family get together withouther quoting something from the bible and it usually has to do with some sort of sin. I think there should be an age limit on this kind of thing.
