No, never.I am atheist/agnostic, and always have been (my parents are too, and though they made clear I was free on that decision, I never felt like picking a religion or anything.) However, as a very idealist person, I really respect people who are religious (not the ANGRY RELIGIOUS type, the I believe in Jesus who told us being nice to people is good type) because they are able to trust someone they don't even have tangible proof exists, while I, on the other hand, am barely capable of trusting people I know since I was born.
I think
faith (and not religion) is a good thing, a good idea, a good whatever you want to call it, because it gives people hope, and if thinking your life is all traced or someone is over the clouds watching over you, cheering when you do well and sobbing when you do bad, makes you feel better, then so be it. I don't mind. I have a close friend who is protestant and she's a very sweet, nice and loving person, she is not a rabid "Christ-fag" as they call it, and it really broke my heart when she told me she was worried about me, about the fact that maybe I was going to go to Hell because I didn't believe in God. She didn't say it to me in a "if you don't believe in God you are doomed" way, but in a "I fear for your afterlife as a friend" way, and it touched me very deeply.
So I guess humans screwed up the idea of faith by trying to force it on others, and blah blah blah.
ps sometimes I actually wish I believed in God, so I could have someone to turn to when no one's there. haha
