I can feel your anger

[Ace Otana]

Out of interest, who was once religious and who was not?

I was never religious. I come from a secular/atheist family. England happens to be quite secular, most aren't religious.
The church and my early school tired to brainwash me but with no success.
As I understood religion more and more, the more stupid I noticed religion was.
Never joined any religion, have always remained atheist.
Theists are free to call me ignorant, and are of course free to deliver the missing information, in fact I welcome it. So far, the information they claimed I lacked I already had, much to their surprise.
I was once an atheist because I didn't know much about religion and merely discarded it as meaningless waffle. Now I'm an atheist because I know a great deal about it and still maintain that it's all meaningless waffle.
So far all I got from theists is demands for me to abandon tried and tested principles that work time and time again and to simply take their word for it without a shred of evidence for support of their claims.
I have rejected such a demand, and will continue to do so.
