Hello!

The story isn't too interesting. Catholicism always had a lot of holes in it for me, and my parent's always encouraged independent thought (except when it came to religion). I was (ironically enough) encouraged by a religion teacher in high school to question my faith and the problems I had with religion. Questioning lead to outright rejection, which my religion teacher at the time was surprisingly supportive of. As far as my family goes...well when I'm home from college I still have to go to church every week, and while I have strongly questioned the tenants of the catholic church with them, I don't think I will ever be able to tell them I'm an atheist. It just one of those things that it would hurt them and it would probably just start conversion sessions I'd rather not be a part of.

If I had to guess, I'd say that your teacher was a atheist. For someone teaching religion to encourage questioning of the faith is odd...

What sort of questions did he or she ask?

Not bad but you could spice this up with lots of references to drugs and sexual sub-plots...preferably with celebrities.
