I'm not sure I ever really believed. I went to a CofE Primary School and a Roman Catholic Secondary School, but I don't really remember believing any of it. I remember wanting to be baptised when I was 9, but only because I was the only child in my class who wasn't and I felt left out and my mother was fine with that.
I think it helped that I never had any religion forced on me. My mother was "Catholic", but not religious at all. I don't think she cared whether or not there was a God to be honest. Anyway, she let us make up our own minds about things like that. The only time she didn't was when I wanted to go to Sunday School because a girl I was friends with at school went (I think I was like 7 or 8?) she said no and told me about brainwashing.
