For those of you who were not raised in a religious family, did you think that gave you an advantage not having superstitious beliefs as a child?

I had no problems with religion until I was 57 years old, 2007. That's when "Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed" woke me up to the passenger character of my life. Before that I used to say "I'm not religious enough to call myself an atheist." For some odd reason that seemed to make religious people okay with me. Evidently just the word "atheist" was/is a threat to them.
