Atheist. My parents both are, I guess, but it was more that religion just wasn't really touched on - they let me attend a few church services of varying denominations with friends, but nothing about it attracted me at all. Then when I was fourteen or so I started reading a lot of Sagan, and the logic of his explanations, especially for supernatural phenomena, and the way he set out the criteria for proving stuff - it just all made so much sense to me. I gradually got more atheistic as I got older, mostly through discussions with religious friends who believed in things like Creationism - the older I got, the more ridiculous I found the whole thing.

I understand that faith is something a lot of people rely on to help them, and I respect it as part of their lives, but I have no tolerance left any more for the intrusion of religion into public life (especially in the realms of reproductive health and science education). I see it as a personal thing, not as something that should lead one to try and dictate how other people live.
