My parents had me Christened into Church of England when I was a few months old, probably due to pressure from their parents.
I never heard my parents, either one of them mention god or religion. religion was just never mentioned in our household, 6 kids and our parents.
I joined the Boy Scouts and was required to attend church one per month. I never believed any of the nonsense. This was for about 3 years. I had a dog that died and when talking to the vicar about him the vicar said that of course dogs don't go to heaven, god didn't give animals souls. I thought that was total rubbish! It cemented my thoughts that god and religion were nonsense after hearing that!
I've always been an atheist. Never thought about god ever.
Been to church for weddings, funerals, christenings, never sang the silly songs or gave praise or prayed.
My 4 sisters and brother are all atheists.

There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.
