The same thing happened to me when i was a kid - they changed me over from left to right like that. Not for religious reasons though. It was at that time in school when they first start teaching you how to write. I had begun to write everything backwards - starting from the righthand side of page instead of at the left margin, and letters in the words in backwards order too.

I told them that if I started at the lefthand margin, as our teacher wanted us to, I couldn't see what I had just written to see if everything was lining up properly; but worse, the greylead pencil (of what I'd just written) would smudge 'coz my hand would swipe on it as I wrote the next bit. My lines were turning out as great wobbly up/down streaks of grey smudge with no real discernable letters at all. So, I decided that starting from the righthand side of page solved both those problems since I could now see the letters I'd just written and my hand wasn't resting on them to cause the smudge. I didn't realise that words themselves don't work backwards like that. It was then that they decided to change me from left-handed to
