Finding God after an atheist or agnostic upbringing?

[Student]

Hi! I am a student studying anthropology and I'm currently doing a research project about Christianity. My main topic area is looking at the experiences people have that lead them to finding God especially those who have been brought up in an atheist or agnostic environment. Whether there is a particular moment or life event, or a more slow and subtle change that drew them into the Christian community? And how since then one's life may have changed?

I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to share their experience if they relate to this.

Well greetings! That sounds like an interesting study and we're glad to have you. You might find some things in the testimonies section, but you may also get some direct responses here.

Not sure if I've shared my entire testimony on this forum, but I was commenting on a small part of it just today I think.

Let me find it.

Here. Below is a piece of it. You will likely find that most people's conversion was dramatic. Mine pretty much was as well, because it was a switch from something closely akin to a Satanist worldview over into a Christian one. But every man is different.

Blessings, and thank you for joining our forum. Hopefully we can be of help to you.
