[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone outside of my family and close friends asks me if I believe in God, it's because they either want to change my mind or they hold some bigoted beliefs about non-believers. It's really none of their business and I don't want to have a conversation about my religious non-belief.  I don't want to discuss it. It's boring. It's annoying.  People who bring it up are rude jerks.

If someone asks me if I believe in God, I usually say "I was raised Catholic" and leave it at that. It's a true statement and there are a million lapsed Catholics in the world, so most people assume that I'm just a lapsed Catholic.

On the other hand, one coworker at a law firm felt the need to explain to me why Catholics aren't really Christian and I should consider joining a "true" Christian faith. Evangelicals can be such wieners.

It seems by saying that you were raised Catholic that you're actively deflecting the issue of your current non-religious status.  Why do that unless you're trying to hide it?
