If you ever feel like sharing about what, if anything, caused your conversion away from that lifestyle, I think you'd find a very interested audience here. It's so fascinating the assumptions we all grow up with. I think most Americans share 90% the same assumptions about how the world works, which comes from the stories we're told, the education we receive, all the other collective institutions we interact with, etc. So it's fascinating to me to learn about people who grew up with completely different assumptions about the nature of the world, and even more fascinating to learn how one can have a change in their basic, supposedly unalterable world view as an adult. Definitely not asking you to share any personal details you're uninterested in or uncomfortable with sharing.
