I feel like most religious people do have the chance to leave their religion, most of the time?

I should hope all religious people have the freedom to leave their religion if they so wish.

I don't think you have any conscious choice regarding your beliefs.

the whole question doesnt make sense.
if i was religious and i didnt like it anymore, i have left the religion regardless of what i say outloud. so to ask if a religious person gets a chance to leave doesnt make sense because they always have a chance to leave when they change their mind

While I may be influenced by possibly illogical factors, I definitely choose and subscribe to my beliefs consciously.

Ok. I think I have a choice in what material I consume to influence my beliefs, while the actual belief-forming mechanisms act subconsciously. Like I couldn't just consciously chose to believe the continent of Africa no longer exists.

Funny, one of my teachers gave that reply when I asked her why she was an atheist. First time I'd ever heard that perspective.

I'm not sure who exactly fits under your view of 'religious people' but I would imagine that a person who is really invested in their religion would not want to leave anyway unless it was a matter of force. Also, if they were being forced then were they religious in the first place?
There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path [al-Baqarah 2:256].

But you couldn't subconsciously say that Africa no longer exists, either.

But let's take as a premise that people have no conscious control over their beliefs. I see religion as the outward forms that people carry out when they believe something or people expect them to believe a certain thing. There are plenty of people who are part of religions but who don't actually believe in them. Just as more and more people are identifying as ''spiritual but not religious'', it seems possible that there are plenty who are religious but not spiritual.
