So were her parents.
So were my kids. Although I did raise them to question things more than I was raised to. Both are non-religious. My daughter is pretty much straight up atheist at 18.
Yet now that I am older and a doubter those same religious people tell me I should have "faith" when they directly forced it into me to being with. (Not a pedophile priest joke.)
Yes, it is a choice. You were forced into religion, but your faith was a choice.
