17. From my experience there are two main groups
People that were born and raised fundamentalists, and have continued to live their faith as adults.

And the people that were "saved" as adults. This second group usually have had the big conversion as a result of being down and out or hitting some kind of bottom. The faith conversion ends up being like a 12 step program -- in a sense saving the person from self destruction.

I'm sure their are plenty of exceptions -- like the Catholics that have flocked to find more Jesus than what they are getting in the Catholic church.
