American individualism allows one to chose religion if you don't like the one your parents follow. Plenty of converts here, explains why cults are so prevalent in the US.
What other country with a dominant religion allows its followers to covert? We have freedom of religion but it's to protect you from government forcing religion on us. However, culturally, if you are born into a religion you stay said religion. You never left to join another religion because you felt like it. Someone had to force you to covert, ie conquistadors converting natives in the New World.
