That doesn't explain those who become christian later in life. A number of adults were confirmed at the same time as my confirmation. They were mostly asian and I'd guess not of US birth. In fact they seem to just the opposite of your position, being raised in an eastern culture where western religion is not prevalent, yet they still find christianity something they desire to accept.

First of all, the number of adults who turn to religion later in life is much smaller than those raised into their particular religion.
Second of all, there is a lot of pressure to belong to a religion here in the United States.
Third of all, there could be many other deciding factors. For example, a man could marry a Christian woman and take up Christianity himself for the sake of the family he is going to raise.
