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

I was raised Methodist but never bought into it. Even at a young age there was just something incoherent and illogical about the bible to me. By the time I was about 15 I understood that if Jesus was a real person that everybody got the whole thing entirely wrong. I won't say definitively there is no God but I have no belief in him/her and don't think a God would care whether I believe in him/her.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
