Yes.
When I was little, I was devastated that my mother didn't believe in god because that meant she was going to hell
I didn't have much to do with religion for a large part of my life, but I always believed in 'something' Then in my early 20's I was converted - I was at a very vulnerable stage in my life, and I needed something to hold on to. And like so many people, the more I learned about it, the more it made no sense until finally I had to admit that I'd been fooling myself. Between Derren Brown, Stephen Fry, Richard Dawkins and forums like this, I've learned more about religion in a short time than I ever did when I was part of it. I'm now a little embarrassed that I ever believed in any of it, but I did.

"No-one who decides that scientific evidence is not for him and that his own experience or the stories of others is the be all and end all of deciding what's true ever has the right to call people searching for reliable, repeatable evidence narrow-minded. That is hypocrisy of the most laughable kind." Derren Brown - Tricks of the Mind.
