1. Yeah, I chose to throw away all the stuff from childhood.

4. 1 Corinthians 13:11

"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child : but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

Makes sense.

Religion was chosen for me when I was baptized in to the faith when I was a baby.
I was enamored by different faiths by the age of 12 and had to take my morals from multiple sources.

I found that the code of morals and ethics I go by is very strict, though I try not to judge others by my own standards. It is a trial, but that is how it goes.

I never got rid of the religion I was born in, I just decided to believe differently and adhere to my own code.
There is no point in dealing with a drama of renouncing a religion. It just faded in importance. I don't see the point in formally adopting any other religion. I just take aspects of it and incorporate it with my core.

3. I was a confirmed doubter/skeptic by the time I was 14.

I was an agnostic by the age of 18

I have been an atheist since my early twenties, some 30+ years ago.

5. In adulthood I made a choice

to leave religion and all manner of magical thinking behind.

7. catholic over here

did the whole school thing too. After my mother's death I became more spiritual than religious. I have upset the family, but too many life changing events have happened to me and now I believe spiritually. (if that makes sense)
