Of course we have choices. Nowhere on this thread do I say that we don't have choices. I'm stating the obvious, which is that the choices we have available to us are shaped -- and limited -- by the circumstances of our birth.
Even the "light" you mention is different for different religions and cultures. If a child is born into a Hindu family in the India, that child will grow up with an entirely different religious and world view than you or I. Same for a child born to Japanese parents who practice the Shinto religion. Or a child born in Nigeria to parents who practice the Muslim religion. Or a child born in Russia to parents who practiced Russian Orthodox Catholic. Or a child born in Israel to Jewish parents. Or to Palestinian parents. Or to Icelandic parents. Or to...
Surely you believe God gives us life. If you do, then what do you believe about the vast, vast array of different birth circumstances God selects for each soul to whom He gives life?
Everyone you metioned has choices.
God even gave you the choice to proselytize; enjoy your choices. :)
