I was born and raised in an Eastern Orthodox Christian family. Became a theistic Satanist in the 1980s - more specifically a Luciferian. It even got me a conscription exemption. Still one to this day.

Born and raised Catholic, drifted towards atheism as I thought that if the tenets of the religion I was brought up in is true, I should be punished for eternity (and then pondered if suicide is a lighter sin than being who I am), and then questioned why that’s necessarily the case.
Later on, I drifted towards agnosticism as I began to question my own beliefs, and more importantly, why I was having those beliefs.
None of that was ever known to a lot of people, though, and I present myself as a non-practicing Catholic.
