Originally I was going to suggest asking, “what were your religious beliefs before reading the sequences?”—and then I succumbed to the programmer’s urge to solve the general problem.
However, I guess measuring how effective the sequences are at causing people to change their mind is something that a LW survey can’t do, anyway (you’d need to also ask people who read the sequences but didn’t stick around to accurately answer that).
Mainly I was curious how many deconversions the sequences caused or hastened.
