A few people in his family were big figure in Unitarianism, and he was religious/spiritual for his entire life. So to answer your question:
indoctrination from an early age sparked an interest along with a later exploration of many religions/spiritual systems ending with his eventual conversion to Anglicanism. He viewed the Christian system as a good schema to go through, and use find meaning in, life, evidently, although I'm not sure why he chose Anglicanism in particular.
