"Born again" Christian (because, as you know, there's no other way to be). 
Grew up in a Christian home, with a pastor as a dad, and step mother pretending to be religious in order to keep him happy (overheard her a few times talking to her family). I had read the bible through a few times by the age of 14, but certain things just never sat right with me. I couldn't really put my finger on it at the time, but as the years continued to go on, I started really noticing the contradictions (whereas before I think I had buried the doubts). Also listening to christian TV channels, and different pastors preaching. Spent most of my time in church. I finished high school, then went on to study theology and ministry. All the questions I had, and the doubts were either silenced by people telling me it's wrong to question god, and I must just have faith...or them twisting the words of the bible so much that it didn't make sense how the hell they got to that meaning.
I got so sick of it that I started reading up about different religions and scientific writings, feeling guilty all the while. It all happened gradually, and now, a few years later, I find myself believing in a god less and less. The god of christianity at least, is long out of my system.
