I was brought up as a Catholic, although not in an overly religious way. I wasn't forced to go to church etc every week but I attended a Catholic school and as such was taught to believe in God. I was unsure until my early teens, but as soon as my brain got to the age of functioning enough to be able to think logically, I passed it off as totally crazy, and utterly idiotic.
I understand why people use religion in cases such as loss of a family member or friend, as comfort.
There's a big difference between faith and blind faith, and religion is essentially 100% blind faith, which I have a serious disdain for.
