I'm an inherent atheist, in that I have never been a believer. I was inoculated against the religious meme by my mother who dragged me to church just enough to demonstrate how ludicrous institutionalised superstitions actually are. My father provided a good antidoate as well, being an atheist, although I never recall him using the term.

But I think the golden rule is a good basis for running one's life so although I don't like religions I feel a person should be able to believe what they like as I want to believe what I like.

That is very cool. Both my parents are Roman Catholic so I was dragged to church as well, looks like their intentions were different but we both got the same result lol.

@ John

Take the / out of the first quote tag so you get [quote]...text...[/quote] then things should work ok.

I used to hang out at Richard Dawkin's Forum (RDF) until it imploded and they had a huge membership there. The ratio of inherent atheists to ex-theists was 48:52 and a little over half the ex-theists were ex-Roman Catholics, which isn't a surprise given the large number of Catholics out there. The interesting thing was the very high number of atheist Jehovah's witnesses. Some had 'come out' but many had not and were very much keeping their atheism to themselves. A few were elders in the church.
