When you became religious what are some changes that you made in your life?
I made a lot of changes. One of the things that I am most proud of is that I gave up smoking. When you do things God’s way, your life improves. Now I have Asthma and I wonder how bad my breathing would be if I still smoked.

The biggest change for me was spending more time in prayer and reading the Bible.
When I became a witch at around 14 yeas old, I began doing a lot more rituals and spells and spending time in nature. I stopped practicing in college but I still feel a connection to witchcraft, as a religion.
I built a shrine to the Dark Lord and started abducting toddlers from supermarkets for the weekly sacrifice ritual.
It took many years, but I finally learned that dance could get me out of my head and into my body. Music can do the same thing. Being in my body is good for my mental health. It makes me forget what a shit I am, as my father was often fond of reminding me.
I became a druid and started worshiping trees. It really helped my golf game. Before when I hit a ball into the trees, it disappeared. After, the trees redirected the ball towards the green. I kid you not.
I quit smoking without having found religion, and my life also improved.
“When you do things God’s way, your life improves.” Perhaps for you, this is true. It’s definitely not universally so, though. In my own case, my life improved when I left organized religion behind. It improved again when I admitted to myself that I don’t believe in a god. My mind became clearer and less uncertain.
Agreed with some of the sentiments above, respect for one’s body and mind and spirit are always going to improve your life, but are not concepts exclusive to religion. I am glad religion has helped you, though. Personally, I have made many such improvements to my life without it.
When I was a member of the Morwomen Church, I was one of the husbands of Zelda Bernstein-Bin-Laden.
One day I got home from work earlier than expected, and I found her in bed with 20 other guys, 10 of whom I didn’t recognize. ;-o
When we divorced, I was automatically excommunicated from the Church of Ladder Day Sluts. ;-)

There are some very interesting answers,
@Adirondackwannabe No, not quite what I expected but they have a right to tell their experiences.
