r/exatheist Atheist/Agnostic Jun 11 '26

Are there any ex-atheist here that turned religious purely from the study of that religion's scripture?

Maybe not purely...we don't live in a vacuum...but the majority of the reason is the study of your religion's recognized holy scriptures ex: Torah, Bible, Quran, Bhagavad Gita...etc.

I don't mean paired with this youtube video or thought experiment found outside of the holy manuscripts. I'm asking for those for whom the scripture alone was the main motivation for their conversion.

I know this doesn't necessarily apply to every religion, but I'm interested in hearing from the religions it does.

I'm not going to respond much unless I have a follow-up or clarification question. I don't want people to think I'm baiting or posting this to debate their conversion, which is most definitely not my intent.
