I did not actively start going to church until I was about 11. My family, though we were Catholic, were not very dogmatic, and never forced their beliefs on anyone, including other family members. I never had a bad experience, but I could never accept what was being taught as historical or factual. I guess in a nutshell, I tried (I really did), but never "got" whatever it is religious folks "get" out of going.
