Hi, Harry!
I was raised Catholic too, but I was never particularly devout. I couldn't imagine identifying as a Catholic nowadays, for the usual reasons. My family all know I'm not religious and they don't care. My kids were baptized but never even got first communion, and aren't churchgoers.
I admire your interest in studying world religions. I have a literary and anthropological interest in religion and mythology.
