have your religious beliefs ever radically changed??...if so... why??

My beliefs have changed radically many times in my life. I've always sought to find truth, whatever it may be, regardless of what I may believe. I devoured books and got into every kind of belief system I could. The funny thing is, at their core, all the major religions are basically saying the same thing, yet they all claim to be the only truth. They make war over the details, rather than the substance. How pathetic. I think it is necessary for a person to examine their beliefs very thoroughly, otherwise they are just believing by default.

Yes they changed I was a believer (in my youth) and now I am an atheist. The reasons are many, too many, if you want to know them I can list them here, but it could lead to some off topic. In short words, I read a lot, tought a lot and come to lack belief in the existence in deities. And I do not claim this to be the universal and only truth, etc. It is what fits me, what I think it is right and I do not pretend to be the owner of the truth.
