Steve, you still seem to have the impression that being exposed to religion ss a child means you are indelibly imprisoned in it for the rest of your life. Which just isn't the case for the overwhelming number of people I know - and clearly isn't the case for you either. Though perhaps the hostility you feel obliged to express to it might reflect a kind of reverse case of that. (It doesn't apply in the analogy of politics either - how many people who were raised in very polotically active families turn up in the opposite camp in adult life.)

If you are involved with religion in adult life, I would suggest, on the basis of my own experience, and that of people I know, it's because you gave made that choice in adult life.
