That's the opposite of my experience. It took an age to become a Christian. And when you're a Christian, you're constantly told of the ease of backsliding etc.. Pressure from family and friends was all very anti Christian too.
For me it was a simple decision not to believe. I just decided one day. I had supposed spiritual experiences too from Pentecostalism.
