My Mum's Church of England and a believer, albeit in a rather idealised God. My Dad's a catholic atheist. A condition of their marriage was that I be brought up Catholic. So I did all the Sunday school stuff, learnt the words, prayed. And then when I got to about 10 I started asking questions about religion. And the only answers I got from the Catholics were "because that's the way it is, and if you think any differently, you're going to hell."

So I stopped being Catholic and started looking around and pretty much moved into atheism and reading philosophy.

Then when I was about 23, I had this epiphany that my own personal happiness only really depended on me. That is, regardless of external circumstances, I can choose to be happy. And that's pretty much how I am. Atheist and happy. Sure I'm going to be wormbait one day, but who isn't?
