I fail to see the justification in following a religion simply because I was born in a certain location and because an Anglican school happened to be the best school in the area.
In Church of England belief, God made me and chose the circumstances of my birth and so He chose my religious circumstances but if I follow that reasoning then he also gave me logical parents who believe in “God” but do not practice any religion. The logic of the parents God gave me to tells me that I should question the fact that if my religion is right because I was born into it then Islam is right for people born into it and the same goes for every other religion.
If all of these religions are right then none are wrong and if I am not currently affiliated with any specific religion and if no religion is wrong then I can choose to follow one over another.
If I choose a religion, is it not faith or belief, it is choice.
And if I choose a religion then why shouldn’t I choose one that doesn’t impose rules on me that I don’t like and if I do that then there is no effort or sacrifice for my religion, so how could I tell myself that I am as faithful and true as someone who is strict in their religious adherence?
Is that true devotion to God?

If all of these religions are right then none are wrong and if I am not currently affiliated with any specific religion and if no religion is wrong then it is up to me to choose which to follow.
If I CHOOSE a religion, is it still faith, belief or just choice? And does that matter?
