DH and I are both atheists, although we came to it in different ways. I don't remember ever having faith as such, although I think I was in high school when I started questioning whether or not what I was told in scripture was real or just a story. I realised after a while that I just didn't believe, and that was that. I was never christened, never went to church and my family wasn't religious so it was no big deal, and still isn't

DH on the other hand was christened and went to church as a child, then embraced catholicism in his late teens, then turned his back on everything and is now passionately anti religion. We've discussed how we'll broach things when the time comes with DS, and will be more going for my live and let live attitude, but DH still gets very annoyed at a lot of things done in the name of religion as if they're a personal affront.

So what has your experience of atheism been? Did you start out religious and just change at some point, or was faith just something that was never there? Are you and your partner on the same page? If you have children, what do you tell them?
