though enviormental (as in what's around them, not just plants) effects on one's up bringing cannot be overlooked - there's many, many people, who grew up in conservative and or right wing families or even countries, and yet they questioned their norm and outgrew it
And some people drop out of medical school in London to go fight for ISIS. People are strange and others are drawn towards ideas others aren't for no fault of their own.

I don't think it's that simple. Why is for example the majority religion in the US Christianity but in the middle east it's Islam? Do people just freely happen to choose the same religion as everyone else around there or is there perhaps outside influences that the individual have no say at?
as I said, environmental factors of one's upbringing are indeed significant influence on an individuals life.
