Yes (me and some portion more than just a few percent I think). I was agnostic, and decided to test Jesus of Nazareth's 'ideas', as I thought of his instructions.
How well would "love your neighbor as yourself" work? I wanted to see.
I tested with random neighbors see what would happen.
It worked great, far better than I thought possible, gaining me good new friends from both next door neighbors. I was impressed, and got it -- this idea is not just ok, but works perfectly.
This guy Jesus was wise I thought, like Emerson or Lao Tzu I thought.
So, after a few years, I decided to test His most radical instruction, the "love your enemy".
I thought it was just an idealistic moment for Him maybe, to say that. Hopeful, optimistic. Probably wouldn't work that well, or only work for a bit while you pour effort into it, like only a reflection from the other person, temporary.
Probably not realistic or that functional, I thought.
But I decided to really test, give it a real try. I had a person in my twice a week dance group that had always treated me with contempt. He didn't like me around. I didn't like him around.
For years.
We really disliked each other.
So in my heart, first, I forgave him some, imagined him a good at heart person that was just very wounded.
I reimagined him. It was effortful.
Then I gathered some actual sympathy for him in my heart, by imagining him to be much like myself. It was effortful.
I decided if he humiliated me, I'd be okay, with all the new friends and love I had been accumulating.
Then, somewhat prepared, I did it for a few seconds, was actually friendly. He was cool at that first time, but definitely less smooth talking that moment than usual. Next time I had less but tried, and he really looked at me, and seemed to melt a bit, stiffly acted a little friendly. Next time it was him doing the friendliness (and I didn't have much gas left in my tank for him).
A years long enemy became really a warm friend. He continued to be warm even when I was so so. I was....floored. I was...shocked.
Really. From an enemy, a real friend. I live in a different party of the country but my heart would be glad to see him!
If I saw him today, we would both smile, and walk to each other, and it would be warm, I know.
See? I started to think: what if maybe Jesus got everything right....
In time I finally did Matthew chapter 7, verses 7-12. (read and see)
That's how I sought and found the Lord (or He did this for me, aiding me). It's like the prodigal. If you seek with all of your heart (like Jer 29:13-14), from a place of real repentance, He will come to meet you.
