Jesus was exposed to many false religions while He was growing up. For a short time, his family fled to Egypt, where He would have been exposed to their religions. He grew up under Roman rule, so He would have been exposed to Roman pagan beliefs and their belief that the Caesars were gods. So? That doesn't mean He accepted any of those religions.

Jesus grew up in a home where the parents trusted and worshiped God Jehovah, and followed the teachings and beliefs of Jews.

Luke 2
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
