I was pretty much a believer up to about 3 years ago, then for two years I kind of believed but saw a lot of the ridiculousness. Last Summer I totally became an Atheist.
So all in all I was Christian for about 20 years if you don't count when I started having serious doubts.
The years weren't entirely wasted, but it would have been nice if I had been doing all the things most average people do and that most people my age at my former Church were doing with or without their "faith."
Also I often had feelings of guilt for not being able to follow Christianity rules which can't actually be followed.
