I went to Catholic school from 1st grade through 12th, obviously had many religion classes during that time. My family went to church every week usually, and I had to go often during school as well.
As it stands right now, I'm 22 and have only been to church once or twice since high school. I just felt "burned out" on religion after high school. The environment there wasn't really one of "discuss what you believe" it was "this IS what you WILL believe or you fail." After 12 years of that, I just don't really feel like going to church anymore, at least for the time being.
To me, I feel like I don't NEED to go to church to be a good person, you're "supposed" to go every week, but I've just lost any urge to go anymore after having it beaten into me throughout my education. Maybe it'll change at some point, but for now I just feel that this is the right thing for me.
