Hard to pick one out in particular. Growing up and into high school I just kind of followed the beliefs and values of the culture in which I was brought up, which were pretty boilerplate conservative religious. I never really investigated them or seriously considered them; I was Catholic-Republican by association.
Once I went to college I started actually searching on my own and investigating the veracity of things I had just taken for granted.
So it wasn't ever one dearly-held belief that got routed in a eureka moment, but a whole host of norms that I had turned upside down over several years of research and argument. Among those views were of course abortion, homosexuality, and god.
