I didn't ask questions because I didn't know you could. I grew up in an insular, small town and went to Catholic school through 12th grade. I was never exposed to anyone who questioned or mocked religion.

I went to grad school, lived abroad yet still didn't ask questions.

It wasn't until I stumbled on a book in a bookstore called "Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali with the foreword by Christopher Hitchens that I basically skipped the questioning part, realized atheism made sense and broke up with religion.
