5 Celebrities Admit They Used to Be Atheists, Their Reasons Vary

To Ari Lasso, Dul Jaelani revealed that he used to be an atheist before the car accident he experienced changed his perspective.

Uus also admitted that he used to be an atheist for 6 months. "I used to be an atheist because of basketball. I worked hard but ended up with a serious injury. Then, the money I earned from basketball was used for physiotherapy. From there, my mother told me to pray, 'Aa, pray', 'I don't want to, I don't want to'," he said as quoted by Youtube Jeda Nulis.

In the Youtube channel Cerita Untungs, singer Tere admitted that she didn't believe that religion came from God. "So I used to think that all religions were made by humans until I received a strong code. The strong code was given to me in a dream where I was lying motionless in the dark and there was a beam of light asking me who is your God, who is your Prophet," said Tere.

Singer Rebecca Reijman also admitted that she used to be an atheist before converting to Islam. She revealed this through her personal Instagram account.

Doctor Tirta also admitted that he used to be an atheist until he received guidance through a dream. "But at that time (still an atheist) I had a strange dream. So, at that time, I fell asleep at 4:00 pm, I saw myself lying down, and I was flying very high," he said via the Youtube channel Masjid Agung Al Azhar.
