This question is for theists and atheists alike. Can you identify a specific person (famous, unknown, dead, living) who has either molded or completely changed your beliefs/nonbeliefs?

Not looking for a "Jesus Christ" or a "God" answer. Full human, please.

not one--but two:
my mom and a boy named Adam, who tripped on mushrooms one night
(well--he didn't actually change/mold my beliefs, but it was because of him that my beliefs changed)

My personal experience of salvation and receiving Jesus Christ is the only reason I am a Christian. If it were up to what other people had to say to me I would still be the old me. I was too lost in my sin to see the truth. Once Jesus took away my sin and I could see my own little world around me I desired to change and live for him.

My husband. His complete and unwavering faith really got me thinking and pointed me in the right direction to understanding. I quit making excuses why God, the Bible, and religion were all wrong and started really looking into things for myself. I realized I was all wrong and sucking up all the propaganda from the non-believers in the world so I wouldn't have to change my life or commit to God. It's easy to regurgitate athiest views and never find out for yourself. He made me find out and I realized I was wrong.

Avraham, by accepting the Covenant with Hashem, and beginning the Jewish nation, into which I was born, most affected my religious views.

Ron Hubbard. He gave me avenues to search and observe for myself. I was unsure if I was just a body that would create other bodies and then die. Now I 'know' I am more than a body.
Go see www.lronhubbard.org this will show who he actually was.

Richard Dawkins helped me on my way. Sam Harris helped, too. But it was ultimately me who changed my beliefs.
