Is one's religious and political beliefs relevant to their surroundings or environment?

How much do you think an individuals beliefs on religion and politics is based on what kind of environment they were brought up in? Or does this simply have nothing to do with one's beliefs and choices? Is it purely based on one's mind, with no interference of their surrounding and environment?
If you think this is totally irrelevant, what do you think these choices and opinions spawn from?
While religion is taught most of the time, i've heard of many cases where the indivial leans so far away from what their taught in spite of it because it was taught to them.
