This is interesting to me because of the disanalogies with my autobiography. I assigned a lower probability to theism when I was most heavily in the "philosophical mindset", and a higher probability now (that I lean much closer towards the "engineering mindset"). On the other hand, I realize that I am very atypical in this regard, since my theism owes more to Nick Bostrom than Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Thanks for this.
