I was raised in a nominally Christian household, but I had become an atheist by my teens. At 17 I converted to Taoism. Over the course of the next 15 years, I became convinced of the truth of a greater reality as reflected in the person of the goddess Kali, and that as a woman, her existence was reflected in me.
That sounds a bit like my beginning, except that my father was a religiously obsessed guy who lacked the people and communication skills to get the results he wanted. (Being gone for about half the time for many months in a row helped to limit his effectiveness as well, fortunately for me.) Were either of your parents religiously obsessed, and were you regular church goers? I'm reading "nominal" as meaning church was rare.
