I was born into a secular Jewish household, although my Dad had to convert, his family were Welsh Methodists. Converted to keep grandparents happily despite my Mum and Dad being lifelong atheists.
I have never been religious remotely, and wasn't particularly interested in religion growing up in London. But I then lived for a long time in Alberta Canada and Texas, USA. In both these places I was amazed by the sniffling nature of the surrounding religious groups and the power and wealth that they were able to wield. I got particularly annoyed when I started meeting creationists and could not believe the level of BS they were spouting and the corruption of the scientific education they want to foist on the young.
In Texas, I had to help protect women from abuse when they were going to one of the very few places for the abortion of an unwanted foetus. The vitriol hurled at these poor women, or the cloying and tawdry faux humility made me want to puke.
Anywho, always been an atheist, enjoy chatting with people. And you would never believe I am of Jewish ancestry cos' I look like a poster child for the third reich, blonde haired, blue-eyed and tall. So I guess somewhere in my past something interesting happened.
Hey-ho!
