Pulled out of the rabbit hole: Meet the conspiracy theorists who are turning to Christ

Kate Orson speaks to the converts who are leaving the truther and new age movements behind

An increasing number of people who have followed conspiracy theories are turning to Jesus. That’s a bold claim, but I know it’s true, partly because it happened to me.

In 2016, a video popped up on my Facebook feed. In it, a man shared his story of supposedly being abducted by aliens. I was intrigued, partly because of the professionalism of the setting; he was wearing a suit and speaking in a large auditorium. Over the next few days, I followed one link after another on the internet, eventually buying a book by the world’s most notorious conspiracy theorist, David Icke, who, among other things, believes the royal family are shape-shifting lizards in disguise.
