Awesome! Welcome 
I've been getting into ripping religion apart recently, but it seems I'm in the presence of a master.
I was not raised religious, but I've heard enough atheists talk about their experience to know that what happened isn't uncommon. Religion tries its best at an early age to try and get things like "the bible is true", "jesus is the lord" stuck in your head as undeniably true. Not everyone comes out of that brainwashing with much ability to reason left.
Atheism is a relatively new thing, and it's again not uncommon for people to not have heard of it or take it seriously. I have heard wonderful stories of people coming out of religion and meeting up with others who have had the same experience, and realizing they are no longer bound by some arbitrary arcane rules.
Welcome to the real world!
