I was raised non-religious, though not overtly atheist. Gods and whatnot simply never factored into it; not altogether uncommon here in the UK. My parents taught me to read at a very early age and encouraged my fascination with astronomy, as well as the value of critical thinking and not taking any dubious-sounding claim merely on the face of it.
