I don't feel embarrassed that I used to be a Christian. I was indoctrinated from birth by my parents and community to believe in it. As a child you take adult opinions as truth without skepticism.
It would be easy to be an atheist if you were never indoctrinated in a religion.
However, only one in twelve people raised in a religion are ever able to deconvert.
I'm one of those rare individuals that threw off the mental shackles of religion through critical thinking.
I'm rather proud of that accomplishment.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
