Have you converted from one Abrahamic religion to another?
For members of the Abrahamic religions:
Have you converted from one Abrahamic religion to another? Were you brought up in a different religion than you now belong to? How and why did you convert?

I converted from non-denominational Christianity to Catholicism (RC). Dragged my feet doing it (3 years), but it was history that made me do it. That, and I was tired of interpretational anarchy.
EDIT: Previous to my dwelling in non-denominationalism I was brought up in a rather secular home.

Raised as a Muslim, still Muslim, hoping to die Muslima too, ISA!

I became a Christian by choice (in a non denominational household), and still am one, though the way I view things has changed - and probably will change again.

I was an atheist for many years, but studied religions as something of a hobby, mostly to figure out why anyone would bother believing them anyway. Quote:
And then the other part, where it was more of a "sheep hear the master's voice" thing. That parts a lot more difficult to put into words, but let's just say that reading what Baha'u'llah wrote convinced me He was who He claimed to be.

No, to the OP. But of course I have to throw my .03 cents in.
 Was raised in an agnostic household. Was "saved" at 16 and followed that path for most of 30 years. Now, I consider myself agnostic again and more than likely have left the Abrahamic faiths behind for good.

Raised Christian. In early teens, I decided that religion was bad but I never stopped believing in some form of God. Now I have just recently started to realize that it's not religion that's bad, but the things that get carried out in it's name. I have also realized that a life without faith kinda sucks. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I will be converting to any Abrahamic religion. UU seems interesting.
