Because I came to my senses.

I went to a private Catholic school for 7 years, and was quite heavily indoctrinated, so it was an uphill climb. Fortunately, my family also loves science and taught me critical thinking skills, so by my teens I was questioning heavily. By my 20's I'd left the RCC, by my 30's I'd left all supernatural nonsense behind.
