After confirmation I never went to church again. Been 38 years and counting! Fortunately, my parents weren't churchgoers and I didn't volunteer to go. Not because I didn't believe, but because I found church services to be so damn boring!

I was pretty much the same, but was also a member of the church choir, which was interesting since I didn't believe.
