I think geography, parents, and access to information, are the main factors in what leads a person to a given religion.
Do you believe that God leads us to whatever religion that will bring us closer to him?

I second this; I do not believe God cares about one's religion.Even if god did care what religion you chose, it can't be called worshipping god in sincerity and honesty if you stick with a religion you know you don't believe.
The only way to approach god honestly in total sincerity is through what you do believe

everyones birthplace is in the lead.Spot on as it turns out....with birthplace in the lead.
That's an excellent question!
Through the ages I believe God has revealed Himself through His Manifestations... the great Prophets and Messengers..and through Them has provided humankind with teachings that meet the greatest need of humanity at various epochs in our developement.
So today when we are poised to envision a more united world with a communication system that unites the planet and realize the economic inter-dependence of the planet a great deal is expected of us... such as
building the foundations for a world civilization..
establsihing universal education for the planet..
Choosing a universal auxiliary language..
Establishing a representative world parliament...
Working fo rthe equality of men and women and
Reducing the extremes of wealth and poverty
If we expend our efforts toward the above goals I believe we will be closer to fulfilling the Lord's Prayer and help bring the Kingdom of God to the earth...
I note that none of the idealistic goals you state above, have any need of theistic beliefs to achieve or eventually realize...
...none.
Just saying...
You join in and support these idealistic goals and later perhaps discover their origin..
It's a nice thought. Some people feel an affinity to certain cultures or regions by instinct or inspiration. But in general if a God exist, I think that our religious beliefs would be like toys for children in a vast universe, and God would be more interested in individual creativity.Do you believe that God leads us to whatever religion that will bring us closer to him?
