Welcome.

I, too, was raised Catholic.

I got better.

I was also born into a catholic family, and went to catholic school for 9 years. My 3 sisters went for all 12 years. We went to mass every Sunday, took communion, were all confirmed, were baptized, etc. I was even married in that church, but have never believed in any of their bullshit, even as a kid.
I am definitely "anti-religious", my wife and kids and their families are all devout christians, I'm the only atheist in the family.
It seems like we have some things in common if your wife is a believer.
Does she know about any of this?

My wife knows that I no longer believe in Jesus, God, or the Church.  I have been exploring religions and looking for "truth" for longer than we have been together.  I am sure that my lack of belief disappoints her but I think I have convinced her that belief is not a choice.  I am sure that she prays that God will reveal himself to me in a way that I can see.  I have no belief that will happen.

I'm a veteran of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. For some reason I've never ventured above Hannibal. May be a good thing, may not.

I'm also retired USN, 14 years at Purdue, and plain old bug fuck. Take your pick.
