I went from a Christian (albeit a struggling one at the time) to an atheist to spiritual agnostic.

I was struggling with Christianity when I first came here. Reading some of the posts by atheists did indeed help me to let go of the religion. But after time as an atheist I've begun to look at religion from an outsider's perspective and can see value in it.

I've recently taken up simple meditation, which has also made me appreciate the spiritual a great deal more.

I cannot really define what I believe right now... but I feel there's a great deal about the mind, which goes beyond the material and quantifiable.

RF in many ways continues to be my own personal "zen master's stick." I've found my views challenged daily, and I've come to appreciate that more and more instead seeking to have my views affirmed.

Meh, I personally think my perspective changes moment to moment. Very rarely does it change radically, but minute and tiny fluctuations happen all the time.

Ummm, I'm not even sure if this answers the question specifically.

I've not been here long. That I'm looking for something is a lot of the reason I landed here. This site and the people here have helped me a lot. Particularly in relation to reading material. When I came first I was moving away from atheism towards Christianity. Throught this site I came to Pelagius, I really connected with his ideas. I also came to Philip Newell, his writing has helped me a lot too. More recently Christian Gnosticism has grabbed me. I mean really grabbed me.
In the real world I don't know anyone who is interested in disussing religion, I have found my views are refined here at a rate many times faster than they would be were I not here.
My beliefs have changed due to being here, the site makes me think, people here challenge ideas in an extraordinarily helpful manner.
I am more aware of what I believe. That in itself is a change. A good one.
I cannot imagine the process of refinement has an end, I imagine my beliefs will always be in a state of change. Hopefully I'll be knocking around here for a good while.
