For most I think they had to fight out of the claws of a Christian family, for me it was different. I always was an atheist, even when I didn’t know what one was. My mom tried to raise me as a Jew but it didn’t take and after my Bar Mitzvah I told her I was done with this religious stuff.

In my late 20′s I became a Buddhist which was pretty interesting and I still retain some Buddhist ideas, but really, Buddhism shouldn’t even be called a religion though it is often practiced that way. It is also completely atheistic. The type of Buddhism I was in required faith which is something I was never good at, my natural skepticism just kept coming out and I had to give it up. It really is quite a relief to no longer need to make sense out of nonsense. With a rational and skeptical world view everything just makes sense and there is always new amazing knowledge – real knowledge – waiting just around the corner to discover.

But I’m very glad to say I was never a Christian.
