For me, it was a combination of exploring eastern religions, particularly via the work of Alan Watts, and a series of visceral religious experiences where I experienced the Godhead firsthand.

The eastern lens of theism is refreshing to those only familiar with the western cannon. Buddhism/Hinduism does not conceive of God as an external ruler lording over his kingdom from afar, but rather, as the supreme Self that dwells within each and every being.
Look within.
How did you experience God?
I don't think I've ever felt anything like that... Except maybe that he's been taking care of my throughout my life.
