Growing up, I was exposed to many different flavors of religion, but not raised as anything specific other than an occasional visit to the local Episcopal church.
Later, I drifted down the non-christian path, passed the various new-age stuff rather quickly & finally found the agnostic/atheistic cul-de-sac where I know live.
In school I was always turned on the most by math & science classes, and I find it puzzling why so many faithful are convinced the bible is 'right' when it comes to matters of geology, biodiversity, & the like. I could never go through my one life ignoring, or even actively arguing against, the millions of man-hours put into research & understanding how the world works.
My mother-in-law is a lot like Faith in her beliefs & worship of 'God'. But she would never have the amount of outrageous pride it takes to confront anyone in their particular area of scientific study, and I love her to pieces for that. She has shown me that it is possible to be grounded in one's protestant faith & not be a douche about it.
