Isn't that what basically happens when you're born? I seriously wonder how many Christians would be such if they were born in India or China.

Nah the sorting hat takes in to account who you are and who you might be. Religion us mostly based on geography.

Agreed, though there is an argument to be said where your parents will raise you in a specific way, based on their upbringing, and therefore your nature could decide your house. Malfoy was a slytherin because his parents were, and that’s all they brought him up to be, which isn’t unlike religion, where being raised in a specific way will decide your outlook on the world
