Haha just stumbled across this sub , listening to jole as I read this haha . <| sep |> Never did . My mother is a little religious , so I was baptised Church of England . I was never confirmed or whatever it is that comes after , I can never remember . My father was never religious , and my mother ' s faith basically goes as far as I believe Jesus existed although he probably didn ' t do all that walking on water stuff , and there ' s probably an afterlife . So , I never went to church , and religion just never came up at home . By the time I was old enough to run into friends at school and their families who were religious , anything religious they said sounded strange to me and they weren ' t going to waste time converting some other adult ' s kid who they only saw on Saturdays . EDIT Thinking on this some more I realised that while I ' m atheist , my brother is definitely agnostic but believes in some spiritual stuff . He ' s of the mind that there might be a God , he just can ' t be sure , and that there might actually be something of substance in the whole souls and connection to the world around you thing . Just found it kind of interesting that he invested a little while I didn ' t , and like I said the topic of religion never came up at home really .
