Well like all people you are mostly influenced by those you live with you, in my case it would be my parents and siblings. Every person has a different view of the world so therefore I believe you are somewhat disillusioned. You believe what your parents believe about the world, that is until you realize its your choice and that is when your view becomes YOUR view. You doubt what your parents say, you doubt what your textbooks say, and "intelligent" people say. The assumptions of scientists and others can change your concept of the world.
