>Are you religious?
Yes.

>What religion do you adhere to, why?
Christianity, because it's the truth.
Orthodoxy, because it's the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church founded by Christ.

>How did you discover it?
Obviously I was extremely salty about Christianity. I blasphemed Christ non-stop and mocked christians all the time. I didn't "discover" Christianity when I converted.

>What are some books you'd recommend to someone interested in it?
What made me christian? I'd say mostly doubt and serious questions regarding existence, life and the after life. I began reading the New Testament when I was an agnostic neo-pagan so I read it from a very skeptical point of view. While looking up interpretations for some verses I came across the book 'Mere Christianity' by C.S. Lewis. That book completely BTFO'd my worldview and put me in an embarrassing position, realizing that my reasoning was absolutely unreasonable. It was also quite scary, thinking that maybe it's the truth, maybe Christ is the Son of God. Eventually I read more about theology and decided to begome.
What made me orthodox? Church history and the Church Fathers.
