Becoming agnostic wasn't something that happened overnight with me. Being raised Catholic I was fed a lot of BS in catechism having gone to public schools. As I got older I realized how mixed up that was. I've always tended to have an analytical mind and never seeing any type of proof I started to question who was trying to feed my a line and why. Growing up in the Viet Nam era/generation also was an eye opener to me. I realized that if the people running the US government could be so wrong in their policies and beliefs that religious leaders could be also.
