Age of Deconversion

[Gwaithmir]

I attended Catholic schools from kindergarten through high school, so it took me quite a few years to overcome all that religious brainwashing. I openly called myself an agnostic midway through my army service in Vietnam. An article titled The Agnostic's Dilemma appeared in the Oct., 1982 issue of THE AMERICAN ATHEIST which was an epiphany for me. I realized, upon reading it, that I was an atheist and probably had been for a few years. I was 34 at the time.
