And people could not just as easily become religious later in life? I did a project on the UUSE (unitarian unaversalist society east) and I interviewed a number of people. They had different personal beliefs, pagan, christian, agnostic, etc... but most of them joined this church during their adult life. In fact the unitarian church did not allow children under 18 to participate in services.
No, people cannot just as easily become religious later in life. They aren't as impressionable and may have already decided most of what they believe.

And as for your example, I wouldn't say it's a good example. Just the fact that they didn't allow children under eighteen to participate shows that it excludes most of what really happens.
