I was brought up Catholic. Went to Sunday school and church every Sunday. Had to go through all the sacramental programmes. It was boring as hell. I've never really believed in God so it was pretty frustrating. Sometimes I'd walk downstairs and our priest will be sat there because my family had invited him around. Pretty weird.
So I am an atheist. BUT I don't despise being brought up in a religion. Personally, I don't think religion is worth holding bitterness and frustrations over. It's happened and it's in the past. There's nothing that can be done anymore so the best thing is to move on. Accept the way your childhood were move on and have a happy adult life. You can't deny it must have taught you some lessons if that's that you are an atheist, if you have any children in the future that you won't introduce them to religion etc. Think about the positives instead of holding on to anger.
Is it normal that I resent my religious upbringing?
