I'm actually curious about the effect faith and upbringing might have on an entrepreneurial mindset.

Does someone who is brought up being taught David vs Goliath and "an eye for an eye" for instance end up having greater capacity for confidence or competition than a Christian who is (in addition) taught to turn the other cheek? What about Islam or Buddhism, what unique effects could they have on a person's psychology?

It's a touchy subject, but religion certainly could be a meaningful factor.
