But I know what you're saying, if you have a religious family then you're likely to be brought up in the faith and taught the values .
The "don't ask questions" doesn't sound healthy to me , if you're unsure or want to learn more that's the whole point to ask questions . Maybe you have had a stricter upbringing? .

I'm not sure if it's that rare , you hear about Born again Christian's and people converting to different religions .

Well not really, atheism isn't a belief as such, it just means you don't believe in a god or gods.

I didn't have a strict upbringing both my parents are pretty laid back and neither are religious at all eventhough they still got us baptised and made us go to mass cos that's just what you did (neither go to mass now though funnily enough) but here over 90% of state run schools are actually Catholic ethos because it was the church who originally set them up so religion is taught in schools and you didn't question the stuff you were told in Religion class because it was taught as fact which imo is incredibly wrong. The sooner we get that out of our schools here the better. Thankfully that grip the church had is getting very weak
