I wasn't brought up in an overtly religious household, although I went to Sunday School for a short while. Christianity, and / or the stories I was told via either Sunday School or other interactions with religious folks, never made any sense to me. It all sounded like fiction. It didn't match my sense of 'the world'. So I never really lost faith, I never really had it in the first place, but any attempts to convince me into the fold didn't feel like they were describing reality. Someone once attempted to recruit me into selling Amway (a pyramid scheme / Multi-Level Marketing scam, like Herbalife), and it felt similarly creepy to the way some religious folks have tried to describe their faith to me. That spidey-sense feeling that something is off. Don't get me wrong, there are good people who consider themselves religious, but they seem to be the more 'casual believers'. A friend of mine has basically said that they literally enjoy the community, with the implication that the actual 'belief' part is incidental and matters far less. This kinda fits with my belief that religious organisations are a good thing if they're providing a service to those who need it; and there are plenty of people that need community and acceptance.
