Realization of your own mortality.

Well, yes. I had a few accidents that were close calls. And watching my parents die would certainly fall into that category too. I didn't suddenly resort to prayer when I sat at their death beds. However, I did let a priest perform the last rites on my mother. Not for my benefit, but because she was a believer and if there was a shred of consciousness left in her coma, she might have felt some comfort.
It did nothing to change my mind.
