Pun intended?
I was a catholic when I was younger, because my mother is a catholic and my father didn't give a crap, so I just went along with it. I started questioning my beliefs when I attended secondary school, because we were taught about religion rather than having a priest drone on. I was fully atheist by about 12-13, before that deistic.
Nah, they still had that whole thing bottled up at the time.
A little later on my older brother went in the Navy and, as how he had been driving us to church ( anything to get his hands on the car!) this suddenly presented my father with a choice. Either he could get up an drive me ( my mom couldn't care less ) or, as he put it "would you rather just sleep in on Sunday." I took option B. Catholicism was always stupid and inconvenient for me. As soon as I realized that my dad didn't give a shit about it either I was done.
