The only thing one can do in life is to choose. Therefore, you can choose to become a Christian or something else. Choice is based on knowledge and so one has to have that before making a choice. Of course, people often choose without knowing all the existing choices or else are raised in a culture where other forms of knowledge are shunned. I believe the latter happens more readily in the Moslem rather than the Christian culture.

ED: First you must say how you know that Jesus of Nazareth was "God's
son?" You rely on your holy book to tell you that, just as Muslims rely on
their holy book to tell them things. But can either side prove their case
OUTSIDE of quoting verses from their respective holy books?
