Seems the best way to lose followers is to have them hardcore in their youth heh. Seems to apply mostly to Catholics I've talked to.

raised presbyterian, now atheist, although i am leaning toward agnostic because i have no proof of my side either.

I disagree. I think this country would benefit greatly from LESS Jesus.

<-- Was baptized Catholic, but have long since rejected the religion. I consider myself Agnostic.

I think that religion, in and of itself is not a bad thing. Religion brings a lot of peace to people who otherwise would not have peace - it is something to hold on to when there is nothing else to hold on to.

Thinking that your religion is the one and only correct religion, that everyone should join your religion (or be forced to follow its rules) and that anyone who is not your religion is a lesser being are the biggest problems with religion.

I was sorta raisd lutheran, sorta nondenominational. My family was more concerned with our relationship to god than with the church. So when I was 6 we stopped going to church because of the pastor not doing what he was preaching but kept practicing by ourselves
