I was christian in the kid sense of the word.
I was a kid, I believed my elders and they claimed there was a god, everywhere, but invisible.
We didn't go to church much, but did the parties: Easter and Christmas.
I thought everyone was the same, so I was too.
Then, when I was about 10, I figured they must be wrong.... and a world of possibilities opened... plus, I discovered there are other religions.
Given this, I'm not the sort of person that would say "I was once a christian"... I was once a kid who believed whatever he was told, just like most kids in the world. Then I became an atheist.
