That assumes that beliefs are genetically passed down.

They aren't.

Of course beliefs aren't passed down genetically, but they are likely to be passed down through a parent raising a child. It happens with adopted children too. For example, if both of your parents are Republicans, you are much more likely to be a Republican than if both of your parents were Democrats.

It seems to me that kids tend to rebel against their parents beliefs whatever they are. Conservative parents end up with liberal kids and vice versa.

That's just how kids are. How many teenagers do you know who say "Yeah, my parents are right about almost everything!"
