My opinion about people who change of religion

My opinion about people who change of religion is the next.
I think that people who leave their religion to change of religion are people who know that their religion is not the truth. Therefore they will make researches about others religions and will find a religion who can satisfy them.
Why I think that ? I read messages in many Francophone forums about people who leaved Islam for Christianity and all these people discovered that Islam is not the truth. Likewise for people who leaved Christianity for Islam.
But we can note that all of them didn't analysed all main texts (holy book , commentaries by theologians , others texts who are the foundation of this religion etc...) about their new religion.
Also I can saw that many of them don't have the basic scientifical knowledge (Cosmology , Evolution theory , Gravity etc...)
What is your opinion about that ?

Not really sure. I had a buddy in the military from Georgia who was a Baptist. After we visited Israel during our time in he converted to Judaism. Puzzling.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

Some form of Jerusalem Syndrome, perhaps?
(I was going to say something along the lines of "what would we have to lose by turning to Judaism", but I realise that might be a sore point for some. So I won't do that.)
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I don't know. When we went I hadn't shed my faith yet. I still considered myself a Christian even though I was at that time critically mulling over my beliefs in it. I got some form of Jerusalem Syndrome. Taking a tour around the country and seeing places that I had always been told about growing up really affected me.
It faded pretty quick after I left though.

Seems to me that people who convert from one religion to another are probably religion-shopping in the first place. Maybe something in their own religion makes them uncomfortable and they find something they like in another religion. Being raised Catholic from birth, I never experienced this, I went straight to atheism.
What I'll never understand is why Christian women convert to Islam. I mean, that's like going from indentured servitude directly to slavery. Christianity is bad enough toward women but at least they're not required to wear all that hijab/burka nonsense.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
