Until my forties I would have considered myself a lapsed catholic, but I decided to educate myself about other viewpoints, and have gone from being (briefly) an agnostic to being an atheist. I officially defected from the Roman Catholic church a couple of years ago. I have a lot more reading to do to continue learning about science and how to argue effectively against religion.
I am now fifty one years old, happily married to a lapsed Catholic, with two atheist daughters, one sixteen year old and one twenty year old. We have some very interesting and at times quite heated debates in our house.
