At what age did you become an atheist/agnostic? And what brought that about?

[Woodwizard]

62. Was around ten or twelve for me too

I was an advanced reader and started reading the old testament I felt like I was reading a horror book written about a malignant narcissist.

I was technically Catholic though my parents did not practice the furthest I went was first Communion, I had no interest in Confirmation and they did not push.

Now the Ironic part is some years I get quite a bit of work doing specialty woodwork for the catholic church. I was asked to do a inlay in front of the alter on a church 16 years ago, next I knew I was making the sanctuary furniture and wall appointments.

Just finished a coat of arms for a new Archbishop. In all these years I have never been asked what my religion is or if I practice. But I will take their money.

The Church I disliked working in was the one named for Saint Bellearmine he was on a judges council that condemned Giordano Bruno to death for promoting the belief that the earth revolves around the sun, he also went after Galileo.

Another reason to despise Catholicism, why was this guy canonized and sainted?
