[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think I’m atheist, but not exactly agnostic, either. But maybe?

I grew up Catholic, went to Catholic school, attended Catholic camps, youth groups, conventions. But my parents were liberal conservatives and by the time I was high school aged I realized that for our family, being Catholic was more nostalgic and ritualistic than anything else. We are definitely a family all going to Hell if not! Also, I just don’t believe in the stories of the Bible. I’m definitely an evolutionist. I think when we die, that’s it. But at the same time, I think maybe there is something else? Like, wouldn’t that be nice? But not enough, I don’t think, to be agnostic.

Last summer I attended a Catholic funeral and was hit with such a rush of nostalgia and familiarity that I almost cried. But then this past week with family, an ultra religious family member introduced me as “Catholic” to someone, and I was honestly embarrassed.

But I wish I could find a name for what it is I am. Is it atheism? Agnostic? Something else entirely?[/quote]
