I see more and more people my age playing the "religious" card. People I grew up with that didn't give a shit about it when I was a diehard Christian. I grew up going to school with a Bible in hand, at age 13 I preached my first sermon. Same age did my first piano concert. Was all in.
But then I realized, when praying, I was literally talking to myself. When you think you get answers it's just random thoughts that pop in your head. It's you talking to yourself. At that age I gave up sugar for a year and a half because the thought popped in my head when "praying" that "god" wanted me to quit it. No ketchup, no bread, read labels all day long.
A few years later I realized how impulsive that thought process was. Realized that "prayer" was one-way communication. That's when I veered off to being Agnostic. But now I'm 100% atheist. There's just too much lack of evidence to be in an agnostic neutral position.
