 Okee dokee perhaps "forced" is too strong a word. Baited into at an
age where we didn't know any better until we could know better and
then choose anyway. :)

John reminded me of the reverse psychology effect of any sort of
anything involving influencing human behavior.

While Religion may attempt to stunt curiosity, doing so only
stimulates those who ARE curious. So there's a check/balance deal here
about religion. It often helps what it aims to hinder. :) (And not
just good things either.)
