i wanted to answer your poll about religion, but my experience doesnt really fit and its kind of fun so you get an ask.
so i was raised catholic in a catholic majority country: baptism, religious lessons, confirmation, and church every sunday.
i believed til 13/14 but i always hated going to church because i had to wake up early. and my mom would always berate me for it.
one sunday morning at 14 i was in bed and my mom told me to get up to go to church and stop being lazy. i was still sleeping so i told her "im not lazy, im an atheist" and... she told me "ok, its fine then" and she never forced me to go to mss again. what is funny is that she never went to mass again either.
now im over 30 but i still havent asked her about it. the leading theory is that she is atheist too and gave all her best to make me hate the church and catholicism xD
That is HILARIOUS, one comment from you and church was cancelled forever, for everyone?? You need to be appointed a religious authority and cancel it for everyone.
I'm sorry you had to go trough the entire religious upbringing before you finally found the magic phrase to set everyone free. I think you are the true prophet (of atheism) (I'm joking)
