SlothI'm not really sure. I think a friend started reading the Quran so I started reading it too because we'll sometimes talk about religion and other philosophy topics.
Since then I've been reading it, watching dawah videos, reading other sources, etc. I find myself agreeing with a lot of it. I was raised Christian, turned agnostic in my early teens and I found Islam answering a lot of questions I had with Christianity which is why I'm still interested.
If I was a less stubborn I probably would've reverted already but it takes a lot to satisfy me and I don't see the point unless I truly truly believe it.
I’m in the exact same boat as you man. I’m Lebanese, raised Christian, became agnostic, but I’ve been drawn to Islam for a couple years now. I have a Qu’ran that I read every now and then. I’m fasting for Ramadan. but I’m too much of a skeptic of religion to revert. I don’t believe there’s anything after this life. but something is drawing me in. I don’t know.

I guess a Muslim would say our natural draw to Islam is our fitra. Maybe something will be revealed to us to erase our skepticism eventually.
Regarding afterlife, I like how Shaykh Uthman from the OMF explains it. It's another existence that we can't really comprehend, much like our existence as a baby in the womb. For me it's something I can't prove or disprove but, I think there's a higher change of proving it than disproving it

Really recommend watching Shayk Uthman. He has discussions with atheists, agnostics, Christians in a calm and logical way.
Maybe this video will help:
I'd go through his channel and watch his discussions. Hopefully will answer your doubts

Welcome brother
I suggest you watch these videos as you are from a Christian background and it gives you a better idea of why we follow Islam. Islam's message has always been there from the get go. I hope this helps

He has many people of all backgrounds and religions ask questions on stage. It may give you answers or questions you may have.

I'd recommend watching Mufti Menk. All his videos are amazing in regards to everyday knowledge. Just search his name on youtube to find his channel. Here is the video for the first surah in the Qur'an

Working out while fasting isnt as bad as I thought it would be
Did it for the first time today, as I wanted to do it right before iftar and my gym closes early on weekends. Honestly was able to lift as much as usual, maybe a couple less reps during some sets

some scholars consider music to be looked down upon during fast since it takes away from deen. i just use it to do a cleanse, focus more on myself than music. there’s obviously a balance in that, it’s all upto personal belief/motives.
