Hi, to counteract all the memes here, I want to start a discussion. Maybe answer the question I asked and tell why you "lost faith".

Lets start with myself. I went to a catholic church as a child, my mothers parents are devout christians, my father is atheist as long as I know. After the elder in the community bullied a very nice priest away when i was around 10, I stopped going to church. I never joined the church as full member as you have to do a confirmation as a late teen and left the church when I was around 20. And now even my mother left the church, so she does not have to pay taxes to them. My Grandparents don't know this, I think my Grandpa would die of an hearth attack, if he ever found out.

So I would say I never had "faith", it was just routine that you went to church.

Never religious, parents weren't religious but grandparents on both sides were, went to church a few times with them (and friends families) but never made sense to me
