I was born and raised Catholic in a Catholic school from K-6
For my 8th grade year I was in a Lutheran school.
Since around my sophomore year of high school, I've been a non-believer in anything religious. I wouldn't even call myself an atheist, since, although I do not believe in any sort of deity, I don't want to label myself as anything when it comes to religion, I despise it that much.
I think organized religion is a bunch of bullshit, especially Christianity, as I feel most (or all) of them were brought about as a way to scare people straight.
I believe in SOME teachings of religion, such as following a morally correct life.
I feel people are free to think and feel how they wish, just don't force your views of religion on me and I won't force mine on you.
The biggest motivation I have towards my beliefs towards organized religion was when I was dating a Jehova's Witness. Apparently you aren't supposed to "date" outside their religion, and since I didn't believe in religion, my ex girlfriend's church was against our relationship, and the leader of her church was even at her house one day to tell me I'm a sinner and will go to hell and drag her down with me.
