My father is an atheist with Jewish parents, and my mother is a (non-practicing) Catholic. I was basically raised “rationalist”, having grown up reading my father’s issues of Skeptical Inquirer magazine. I find myself in the somewhat uncomfortable position of admitting that I acquired my belief in “Science and Reason” in pretty much the same way that most other people acquire their religious beliefs.
I’m pretty sure that, like everyone else, I’ve got some really stupid beliefs that I hold too strongly. I just don’t know which ones they are!
