POLL: Are any of you guys converts?

No. Religion works for me. (Not the "cult" religion, though.)

Yes. I was converted from Catholicism to Atheism (though Atheism is lack of belief). I found out that religion has a very negative impact on society, especially Christianity because Christians don't like focusing on the real world and would rather prepare for the supposed afterlife instead of advancing.

Indeed I am. I converted to Atheism after I started studying other religions. A better perspective on things really does make you wiser.

Yes. Christian to atheist. I kept reading the bible and studying it. Then I realized that many different denominations have valid claims to their interpretations of the bible. It was clear that through the reading of the scriptures, we are not given the wisdom to understand his word, even though it says wisdom is given to those who ask. Thus, after that realization, things snowballed from there.

Sort of.

I was not raised in a church going family. My Mother didn't go to church when I was growing up, but later became "Pentecostal". ... My Father claimed to be Baptist, but only went for a short while. ... He liked to drink.

I tried Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, and didn't believe what any of them taught. ... For a long time I didn't go to any church. I never doubted that there was a Creator, I just didn't think the churches were actually representing him!

Many years went by.............One day someone came to my door and started talking from the Bible. I invited them in. I asked them questions that no one else had ever given me a satisfactory answer to. Such as: "I might not be good enough to go to Heaven, but I don't think I'm bad enough to go to Hell, so what is God going to do with me?"

I was given the answer from Matthew 5:5.
