What made you change your views?

If you dropped your religious, conspiracy or pseudoscience beliefs, what made you change your views? I know it is usually very long and complicated journey, but try to zoom out on the main factors.

I am also interested whether any kind of ridicule / poking fun / comedy or calls for self-deprecation played any role?

I lived through an event that brought up questions about the problem of evil, and realized that what I'd seen didn't comport with the loving god I'd been taught to worship.

As almost everyone here knows, religion doesn't survive questioning. Mine sure didn't.
