I take your point and thank you for responding, but be careful with this, the scriptures explain the scriptures, stuff. The scriptures mostly explain the prejudice of the user.
Most scripture is extracted in part and then used as a jousting stick to overpower other holy-rollers in a battle of pseudo-faith and demonstrations of god-likeness, or my accurate knowledge vs your accurate knowledge. Of course all, accurate knowledge is just somebody else's work over the ages handed down. From my observations the truely spiritual person becomes almost invisible and lives the life, they espouse their belief rather declare it.
I guess my point was that all are drawn equally but the response is relative to capacity, culture, conditions of life and circumstance, degrees of open-mindedness, free and unfetted access to this so-called, God. Fundamental religion just about blocks all passage to this God.
All states of being, drawn, by God are implicit on the circumstances of the individual, culture, educational state, family structure and the university of hard knocks, etc.
When Jehovah sees a heart that is responsive to Bible truth, he uses his spirit to help the individual to grasp and apply that truth in his life.
Bible truth should just read, truth. There is no more or less truth in the Bible or the Koran, or the words of the Buddha or Krishna. If one excludes other religions as sources of this so-called truth for exclusive Bible truth, then no truth exists at all, or no truth that will bring lasting benefits to the individual or society, because this is an extreme prejudice. You might still get drawn, but not by God or to God, but rather to a group of likeminded individuals who are enacting some tribal religious practice.
So it's not just as simple as a line of words in the Bible, the implications of such a line are very wide ranging.
