Leah Libresco for example was apparently a notable atheist blogger who converted to Catholicism as it satisfied her questions about morals, primarily. I'm not sure how common it is, but in general why do you guys think some atheists end up converting to a religion?
In my experience the trigger is always emotional, even with Strong Atheists (Dawkins 7) who leave a logical door open.
Of course the emotional content invariably overrides logic and so it's difficult to track back and leads to post-hoc retro-fitted positions.
