I converted to Taoism after being an atheist as an adolescent. I read the Tao Te Ching at 17, and everything in it resonated with my personal experience of the world. I don't know that this resonance implies any specific metaphysical beliefs about the world, but the writings of Laozi and Zhuangzi resonate deeply with me. Since that time, over the coarse of thirty years, I have converted to a brand of Hinduism known as Shaktism, again for much the same reason: when I contemplated the Shakti, it resonated with what I experienced in my life. I'm now a devoted Hindu.
