Born and raised what I believe to be the Nazi's of all religion - Catholic.
For me, the "rules" of the church and doctrine did it for me. (IE - the lack of respect for women, everything you do is a sin... you get the idea).
Going to Sunday school I was never allowed to question why something was the way it was within the church. I always was told "because that is the way it is". This didn't last too long for me and, by the time I was in fourth grade, I stopped trying to believe what was being forced on me. I ended up finishing my Sunday school classes because a) my parents would not allow me to quit and b) so I can get money when I was confirmed.
Don't confuse my distain for religion with a lack a belief in god. I believe in a higher power, without a doubt.
