I got into xtianity on my own when I was in my teens.
I wonder if, looking back, you think a purely secular upbringing leaves one open to woo and religion. We raised my stepson in a purely secular home but his biological dad very woo. He is too. He goes to Brazil regularly to meet with the high teacher of his sect, "John of God". He takes out a pendulum to help him to decide things. I can talk to him about some of it but he gets that I'm not reachable by it and hasn't pushed in quite a while.
