I was raised loosely Catholic, as in know the stuff but don't go to mass regularly. I learned about other religions on my own, my doubts rose as I saw what a Catholic school looked like, then had a falling out with "God" when a school friend died in a silly way (football to the head, dead the next day). I kept a spiritual side, learning more about different cults, but after learning about the scientific method, I started recognizing the patterns of manipulation and wishful thinking in all belief systems, leading me to scientific anti-theism, or "Atheism". I've considered left-hand Satanism for a while, but I'm not fond of rituals.

Right now my religion is "None", with a dash of tolerance for those who don't understand science but try to, and another dash of fiery wrath for those who attempt to convert me to their beliefs.
