I lost my 'faith' at about nine years old Craig. I was up till then brought up as a Catholic and through the further years. In year twelve at school we had to go to a retreat with Jesuit priests. As usual at a discussion I voiced my opinion that all religious teachings were a mish mash of folklore and downright superstition. My class mates collectively drew a deep breath. The Jesuit priest leading (there were six in the room) the discussion questioned me further. I got bold at this stage and told him it was all crap! He then agreed with me! Then he asked me to give reasons for my conclusions.
Long discussions then went on in front of all my class mates. Some of them later were in fear of what would happen to my immortal soul. They were ignorant fearfull indoctrinated fools.
These priests to this day wonder how I got to their position at nine years old.

The year this happened was 1967.
