Religion always seemed silly. When I was 11 I determined that the people who ran the church were shitheads. When I was 13 I grabbed my dad's offer to sleep in on Sunday so I didn't have to listen to that silly bullshit. Which, btw, Richard Jeni pretty much nailed....
For roughly the next 20 years religion was simply an irrelevancy. Didn't give a fuck about any of it. Really did not start paying attention until I realized that these jesus fucks were trying to pour a load of superstitious crap into our laws and schools. THAT's when I began to identify as an atheist....even though for all intents and purposes I had been one for a long time.
Of course. I could not possibly understand. Except that I went through a similar experience before coming back.
Seriously, do you honestly think you are the only person who has been through what you've described?
Get a grip, dude. You're no different than every other Catholic teenager who wasn't paying attention during mass. Except that you've never bothered to pay attention since, either.
