Augustine of Hippo experimented with different religions until he found his spiritual home in Chritianity. He became an Auditor in the Mainchaean religion in 373, but converted to orthodox Christianity in 382. Although Augustine formally repudiated Manichaeism, he never entirely abandoned its theology, which he helped pass on to Catholicism in such forms as the idea of original sin.
