I was raised in a non-religious Jewish family, and "switched" to atheist. So I'm still equally non-religious, but I no longer eat matzah during Passover. Or even know exactly when the holiday is this year, since I haven't been paying attention.

I guess that counts as converted for the poll, but just barely, and only because I've started checking a different box on surveys, not because my beliefs changed.

It starts Monday and ends next Tuesday. I'm not even Jewish and I know that. Aren't you in contact with any family or friends who keep the faith?

Born into an odd mix of New Age and Roman Catholicism.

Converted (deconverted?) to not having any specific religious beliefs, like atheism/agnosticism.

I don't know what my parents believed.
(I think my mother was a deist though.)
They didn't discuss religion at all.
I don't recall ever asking them.
Neither choice in the poll works for me.

Yeah, it came up in conversation with my sister yesterday. Neither of us are doing anything to celebrate, and none of our other family (besides her kids) are within 500 miles. So I'm sure I'll see Facebook updates about people getting together for Sedars when it happens.

Sounds like you were raised without religion, so if you still don't have a religion, that would qualify as "born into it", as far as I'm concerned.
