Mean; median; mode. Eventually in life we start to recognize averages, as they are a necessity in the day to day assumptions that come with being alive and sentient.
As for the perception shift... I'd say that's normal. From my limited experiences, filtered through my ontological ideologies, I've seen this demonstrated again and again and again. Change in perception is normal. Challenging and testing perception is healthy in attaining a less ideological perception. Still, that doesn't mean I won't defend the conclusions I've come to under my current ontological ideology, and I'm not opposed to shifting again if I find a better ideology.
Also, the US is a Republic, not a Democracy. Oh, and I don't believe there is a god because god can not demonstrated logically and as such I return to the null hypothesis: no god. But those are better explored elsewhere.
