I've been an atheist for my whole life and I just cant seem to get myself to believe in anything, I just don't see how people expect people to convert.

Who knows?

I became religious because atheism and agnosticism didn't feel quite right. So I settled somewhere between Christianity and Unitarian Universalism and now I'm comfortable.

But some people just don't believe and that's cool. I would never try to convert somebody.

People convert by believing. If you don't believe, you can't make yourself...

research some religions and find one that you fancy
devote yourself to its beliefs

for me it took an amount of certain events in my life to finally see that there is something higher out there

Read the bible. That will help once you study the word and get your nose into the book it will all come clear to you. Its not the point though of just being religious. It's the point that you have to live for God as the bible says once you repent of your sins and baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and being filled with the Holy Ghost every thing changes. Dont just believe in what everyone tells you though get it for yourself. Read the word(the Bible) and pray that God will give you a revelation of what it means.

How about checking out different cultures and learning about different religions through talking to different people? If its not for you don't go for it...

I'd be willing to bet a large sum of money that that definitely will not help him.

I agree.

The best way is to either talk to someone else that is religiously affiliated, and have them explain their beliefs. Figure out what works for you and what doesn't. For me it's Catholicism, but you just gotta find your niche.

I firmly believe a higher power has to exist, But you just gotta find it for yourself.

See I'm probably considered a Deist in that I think some intelligence planed the universe but I just can't get myself to believe in a god, and I've studied every religion I can.

If you're a deist then doesn't that mean that you believe in some higher power, even if it isn't there any more?

(Unless, of course, you aren't the OP. In which case disregard this).

You have to pretty much be afraid for whats gonna happen to you after you die... That's a starting point. then look at something that doesnt completely screw you over. But then again, what doesnt?
You can try my beliefs if you want. Just an offer.
