Dude no shit? I grew up in a rural Appalachian Christian household, homeschooled. I also consider myself agnostic.

Several things influenced major changes in my household. While my parents marched in pro-life DC rallies and were somewhat religious, my dad was a hippie in his early years and anti-Vietnam, and my mom is truly a very empathetic person. After Bush invaded Iraq, that combined with what I consider the wild west of the internet helped break them out of the echo-chamber.

Ultimately we all flipped 180 to progressive Dems over the years.
