Judging by your avatar, I thought you were Santa Clause.
Assumption: You initially took on your parent's beliefs
When did you change philosophies?
How old were you?
What sparked the transformation?
Is there anything I can do to help you get over it?

i met a psychically attuned nurse at work [in hospital] one day a while after i was discharged from army in my late 20s, she told me that soon i would have revelatory dreams that would give me the answers i'd long sought about why i was here on earth. long story short, i had the dreams that explained me to me. angelic beings did the explaining, but these angels were dressed as humans. they showed me a few of my past lifetimes which were pertinent to why my life at present was the way it was.

You said you were in the army.
Did you enlist in the MK Ultra program?
FYI. I was a committed Christian until was 20.

FYI. I was a committed Christian until was 20.no worries
i am curious as to what made you change course? 
at that time, i was young and dumb and had no idea what MK ultra was, so obviously i was way too low pay grade for such a thing. whatever psychic things have happened to me, they were unbidden, i could not make them happen, they just happened to me much to my agnostic surprise. they effectively changed my mind. and my life.

They experimented on military personnel in America in the 50s.
It is an atheistic joke enquiring whether or not your mind has been altered through mind-control because you embraced religion.
I know.
I'm a little devil.
Do you know of Ricky Gervais?
Quote:
Project MKUltra, also called the CIA mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency—and which were, at times, illegal.[1][2][3] Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control. The project was organized through the Office of Scientific Intelligence of the CIA and coordinated with the U.S. Army Biological Warfare Laboratories.[4]
The operation was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967, and recorded to be halted in 1973. The program engaged in many illegal activities,[5][6][7] including the use of U.S. and Canadian citizens as its unwitting test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy.[5](p74)[8][9][10] MKUltra used numerous methods to manipulate people's mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis,[11][12] sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, and other forms of torture.[13][14] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra

I dunno what my religion was when I was little. I went to Unitarian and Quaker schools and later attended my mom's Presbyterean church, but then went back to a Quaker high school. But I'm an atheist now w/some interest in Buddhism. Politically when I was little I remember liking Jimmy Carter as president and HATING reagan so I guess I was liberal. Now I'm a communist.
Communism has a lot of historical baggage...
I am assuming you are aware of that?
Capitalism and all its associated political schools of thought have alot more.
More than tens of millions of deaths?
I am not sure I agree.
Stalin was a much more effective murderer in terms of numbers than you know hoo...
Please let us not further bring up "he who shall not be named".
OK, I will: Voldemort.

Voldemort is the archenemy of Harry Potter, who according to a prophecy has "the power to vanquish the Dark Lord". Nearly every witch or wizard dares not utter his unmentionable name, and refers to him instead with such expressions as "You-Know-Who", "He Who Must Not Be Named" or "the Dark Lord". https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CH ... le65-xz_D4
