Seriously though, if you can, I'd love an example. Something sensible and real, not some ridiculous corner case.
So there are no examples of theists becoming atheists of vice versa?
Of course there are. I'm one of those examples. But it's not because I just 'decided' to stop believing in god. I investigated, heard arguments, searched for evidence, and realized that I was incapable of believing in god anymore. The "choice" was me seeking further investigation, but there was no volition involved when I stopped believing in god.
