I escaped unscathed, but I will say this: I was squirming as I answered a lot of the questions. Having denied the existence of God, how am I to have an opinion the nature of divinity?
But it made me realize that I'm actually more sympathetic to the notion of God than I had thought. Apparently, a preponderance of evidence suggesting the existence of a very wise and powerful being would be enough to make me a believer. That's a much lower bar than I would have expected.

If extraordinary evidence would present itself to the contrary (e.g., lightning striking Mount Rushmore to write out, "I AM THE LORD, YOUR GOD") I'd have some serious praying to do.
