Exactly what it says on the tin. What made you return to your previous faith after leaving it?
For me, it was getting over a deep sense of shame, depression and anxiety that I had developed over this previous year of school. The anxiety was created by extremely stressful life circumstances, but the depression and shame had been going on for a good while prior. I thought my Christianity was the cause of my self-doubt, depression and shame, when really these were personal issues that have been brewing since middle school, and are at least partially hereditary.
What made me able to embrace my Christianity again was recognizing that Christianity is meant to be a religion of hope and moving forward, not a religion of despair and being stuck in the same old rut.
So, fellow reverts, what about you?

), but in my case I've reconnected with Catholicism, but not to actually convert back to it. If one reads my faith statement at the bottom of this post, they'll see where I'm coming from, but I also feel that religion and/or philosophy have importance in supplying us with direction and community that we often may need.
