Liberal Catholic turned atheist

[dom.donald]

your story was an interesting read. It's funny that sometimes all it takes is for two people to look at each other and think "why on earth do I believe all this rubbish?". I think one big factor is that your parents don't seem to have been pushing your religion at all. From an early age you knew that being a Catholic wasn't *all there is*. Unfortunately, in many religious families, the kids aren't even shown the *possibility* of an alternative - and when they grow up, they've already been indoctrinated beyond the point of no return.

So I am pleased you finally shook off the burden and you can see life for what it is.
