I am a 31 year old former Catholic. I have lived in Canada most of my life and a couple of years in Asia. I began to doubt my faith at the age 12. I have never self identified as an Atheist, but I accept the label for the sake of functionality. Most of my family, both immediate and extended, no longer regularly attend church services, largely due to the sexual abuse scandals. I am a political junky and I plan to combine that tendency with my commitment to freeing people from blind faith. Religion and politics are often much too closely associated, and I believe this should not be the case; I intend to shine a light on this relationship.
