Assalam o Alaikum rahaumutllahi wa bakarauthu.
Allah guides whoever He wills. I am born to Muslim family, (From Pakistan). But I was never praciticing, and I became addicted to video gaming, until finally Allah guided me to His straight path.
There are so many Muslims born to muslim family but not praciticing religion. Youths are common, especially here in Pakistan.
The son of Adam peace be upon him is born Muslim, then his non muslim parents make him either Christian or Jew, or make them follow their forefathers blindly.

This is decreed by Allah only. There are literally alot of people who followed another religions formerly but then reverted back to Islam, by will of Allah.

It is big blessing that Allah guided you to His straight path. He showed you His mercy. There is no need to ask this question.
“O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if you ask about them while the Quran is being revealed, they will be made plain to you. Allah has forgiven that, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing”
[al-Maa’idah 5:101].
