Well, I'm a youngster pushing 76. My father was a "fallen" Catholic and my mother was a Unitarian, as she put it, "Unitarians are Agnostics with a church."
In my late grade school days I was sent to Sunday school every Sunday. Neither of my parents ever went to church but my attendence seemed to be part of perceived "proper unbringing". I said no more Sunday school so was sent to regular church. First time the minister preached against science so I came home and said no more religion. There was quite a struggle for a couple of weeks but I got my way since neither parent was strongely motivated. Somewhere along here I became an atheist I guess. I couldn't see any reason to put up a false front so I freely said so and have ever since.
