I wonder which kind of arguments made him change his mind; the evidence based ones or the ones calling him an idiot.

My guess is neither of those. People don't really base their world view on facts. Maybe his life situation improved, he found a healthier community or a hobby

It sure as hell wasn't strangers with evidence-based arguments that did it. I've seen plenty of cultists on reddit before I left. They are like brick walls and each fact is a rubber ball.
