I had doubts about the existence of god but didn't consider myself atheist as a teenager. After all, how can one have faith without doubt? I was pretty sure Christianity was myth, though. That's one thing Baptists don't consider when emphasizing bible study to youth: the reader concludes "this is fiction."
I went to church anyway. It was a chance to play, and my grandmother would drive up from El Dorado now and then to see me. When I would visit her in summers, between college semesters, I would go to church with her. Always nice to see the El Dorado girls.
I go to funerals and weddings. A few times, I escorted the dish and her mom to mass. Never ate the cracker. But go to church on my own, for me? Got better things to do.
