I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

Damn near most of them. I was raised by stereotypical mildly narcissistic boomers who were mildly racist and very conservative. I’ve only gotten more leftist as I’ve gotten older.
I’d say that the biggest one was that people’s situation is largely their fault. It’s not. It’s somewhat their fault but a TON more than is obvious is actually the context and environment in which they live. Like in a card game, some cards are dealt to you and you choose to play them. You don’t pick the cards you get.
Even then, the choices we make are not independent of the context. I was raised with the idea that we’re 100% free will. I’d say it’s 20% at most. If I had free will, I’d never lose my temper. I’d never have a break down. I’d never do dumb stuff because it seemed like a good idea at the time. (thinking to myself, why did I do that?!)
