Writer's Block: Conversion Rate
Already have twice! I was born without knowledge of religion, and then my parents taught me about Christianity. Then when I was about 14 or 15, I finally began to realize that I couldn't reconcile what my science teacher was telling me with the biblical account of the creation. I thought about it more and more, and eventually realized that I had never experienced a shred of evidence to support Christianity. Eventually I stopped believing altogether.
Now, this question asks whether I'd ever considered converting to another religion. I suppose I haven't exactly answered it, considering that atheism is not a religion, but merely the lack of religion. It would be like calling "clear" a color. So I suppose the answer to this question is really "If enough evidence surfaces to convince me of the truth of a religion, then yes I would convert." I'm all for broadening my horizons and the search for truth and all that. I just haven't seen anything that has any evidence yet. And in absence of that evidence, I feel the only wise course of action is to live my life as though Gods don't exist.
