My dads not really religious and doesnt like churches or evangelicals, and has more of a loose spirituality going on, although he would never call himself an athiest. Not sure what to call him.
My mums christian, but doesnt ever go to church (not in my life anyway).
Thinking back, i dont remember ever really being exposed to much religion. Never really got exposed to much anti-religion either. I used to read alot about the old egyption and greek faiths, and ive gone thru some of genesis, read posts from people on both sides of religion. I suppose it might of been from reading thru history and science that made me rather wary of religion. Or perhaps it just kept me neautral. Who knows. Growing up i was pretty much agnostic.
At around 13, i went thru a light stereotypical phase. Very critical of religion, and a bit of a angry athiest. Didnt help that i had a this guy in my math class that told me i was going to hell alot and was living in a metaphorical one, but ya know. I ended up realizing that each side is relatively at the same level of dumbass content, though im hardly going to change sides.
People are people, no more, no less.
Im still sticking on this side of the fence though.
Still wondering about the roots of my athiesm though...

There are some things we never really figure out about ourselves. Our personal beliefs usually fall into that catagory.
Nah, il probaly figure it all out. And i pretty much have as far as personal beliefs.
First off, it is spelled aTHEism as in, polytheism or theology, fool.
Second, in the current society it is common place to have an atheist or agnostic (in the event that you grow up surrounded by religious folk). It is most likely caused by the technological advances that make God obsolete.
Anywho, here is a fun quote:
"If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside."
