What Religion, If Any, Were You Before You Became An Atheist?
#33
RE: What Religion, If Any, Were You Before You Became An Atheist?
I live in the bible belt & most of my family are "weak" christians (although one cousin is a crazy-ass primitive baptist preacher with quite literally 11 children) but my parents never seemed to care too much about it, so I was never really indoctrinated past going to a christian daycare after school when I was a kid. I was never baptized or christened. I used to pray when I was young, but I eventually figured out it was pointless, shortly after I figured out Santa wasn't real. Aside from weddings & funerals I've never been to a church service. I think the idea of getting up early on a Sunday for any reason is just silly.
