i grew up in a home with a religious mother and an atheist father. I dont remember either one trying to influence me on my decision in what to believe. I remember having a childrens bible and believing in god when i was young because it was the norm - all the kids in school would talk about it from time to time and around christmas everyone always talked about jesus. I grew up with the ability to choose on my own with no concern from my parents, despite their opposing views. I dont believe in god or any type of all knowing creator. My mother is a saint (ironic term i suppose) because my father and I always pick on her about religion and shes always such a good sport. I grew up with the two greatest parents a kid could ask for.
