I was "raised" into Christianity. Baptized, went to church daycare, got "confirmed" at 14 and joined the local youth group.
I have never belived in any god. I tried to feel somehing, tried to belive, but it just wasn't there. 404.
I belive in things I can prove, understand and watch. Show me how thngs work, how things are created and evidence that supports your claims.
I'm a science-nut though. I have a hard time associating with people who belivee in a religion... mostly because I can't understand them and they seem illogical to me. I'm not hiding this. I can be "friends" with them, but not _friends_.
And no, I'm not hiding from people who has a different opinion. I'm always on the look out for something that change the way I look at the world. I seek things out. I need to know exactly why I can't believe in stuff and why I find it hard to believe.
