RE: Atheists living in very religious places, do you have moments of doubt?

I'm not sure, if I ever lived in a very religius place. I grew up in Vienna and as long as I can remember, religion hasn't been rubbed into the faces of innocent bystanders.
If we're talking about the provinces, the countryside, it's a different tale. They tend to more religious, but not as obnoxiously religious to try and convert anyone.
No, as a child I had little doubts about religion and as a grown up I have little doubts about it's lack of foundation. Funny thing is, the first time I had serious doubts about christianity was in church. It was the day of my first communion and we sang the hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy". There's that passage "Thee, Who was, and is, and evermore shall be", which was a mind twister for my childish brain. I asked myself, how can that be true?
