What Religion, If Any, Were You Before You Became An Atheist?

RE: What Religion, If Any, Were You Before You Became An Atheist?
This is a difficult question for me to answer philosophically, because my deconversion process was rather long drawn out when I think about it.

Before I became an atheist, I was a deist long before I acknowledged that critical change of position in my core beliefs, I was irreligious. I was pious in the sense that I still believed in a god, and it had relevancy in my life to some extent but was aberrant to the 'denominable' Christian orthodoxy in that could not care for the fiasco of getting up early on one day out of seven that was supposed to be my one-day off to worship a god I recognised, or simulated in my mind at least, as a 'superior being' would not care for or even want our devotion, and by worship I mean stand up, sit down, and kneel when told to by Emperor Palpatine.
