Religion never seemed real to me, even when I was a kid. I went through the motions of trying to belong to a few groups, but in the end it never got beyond that. I finally asked myself if I was willing to testify under oath that any god was real, and the "no" I got back from myself was so vehement it flipped my worldview from agnostic polytheist to agnostic atheist in literally seconds.
On the other hand, I've adored magic since I was an even younger kid and occasionally wonder if I can use science to make it work For Realz.
