I am not sure how I can better explain this question. It is pretty straight forward. How did you come to the decision to follow your religion? Was it a spiritual event? Logical backing? What led you to your current religion and what keeps you practicing it?
For me, I had a disrespect for religious organizations because of the treatment I witnessed from having Jehovah witnesses for grandparents. That combined with the worlds history of conflict associated with opposing cultures based on religious ideas drove me to read about various religions to understand what it was I didn't respect and wished were not parts of human culture.
I believed that understanding fundamental aspects of nature would illuminate an objective truth about reality. I formed a hypothesis and then studied everything I could to try and disprove it. When everything in the world was in support of it rather than disproving it, I conceded to what is now obvious to me about the nature of nature.
I strongly believed that human types of thinking would not suffice. That abstract analogy and math are more suitable than literal human interpretations.
The most influential question I asked was what makes information possible. The answer to this is a mathematical logic called injective function, it is a set of conditions that allows for any identity to have coherence and be relative to other identities.
Then after understanding what makes information possible I questioned what nothingness may be in a natural sense not just a human interpretation of the concept, but an actual absolute absence of some sort. I eventually came to understand that nothingness doesn't clearly describe itself and requires para-consitent logics to make sense of, and the real lexical term I needed to be associating with nothingness was absoluteness.
Finally I questioned how do you apply injective function to absoluteness. The result is recursive inverse deduction. So I hypothesized that if everything has arisen from this pattern of recursive inverse deduction in some way, then this pattern should be resonant in all things as any origin can be found by following the backward trajectories of the origins results.
So the next part of my journey was searching for anything at all that didn't have this pattern apparent in its functions. So far though its exactly how nature works on every level from biological reproduction and evolution, to quaternion maths of the wave structure of space, and the fractal inflation of the cosmos.
To sum it up, the world isn't as complicated as we can make it seem. Things actually are just what they appear to be, nothing more. The reasons can seem complicated, but the truth is simple.
