I was an atheist before I converted, mainly because the Old Testament pissed me off. I was very anti-Christianity for years.

Reading about spirituality helped. I was the sort of militant atheist that unconsciously wanted God to exist, but had to attack theism very hard, to be sure that if I found something it'd be solid.

I found some real life Christians who changed my mind. I thought Christians were all dumb people, then I discovered my French teacher was a Christian and couldn't believe it.

I worked on Pascal and Descartes, expecting to side with the D Man on God, but I eventually much preferred Pascal's approach. Big surprise to me.

Dostoyevsky helped as well, also CS Lewis. A whole lot of reading, basically.

Catholicism helped because of their scholarly approach and how intelligent and educated their material is, pic related.
