I don't know if I ever had a faith, exactly. I suppose as a kid I took everything I heard at my church for granted until I just didn't any longer. I don't think I ever had a real moment of stark revelation, more of a gradual realization that I can't accept things based entirely on faith without evidence.
When I quit going to church as a teenager, my dad was pretty disappointed but didn't try to stop me. He just hoped I would come around eventually. So thankfully there wasn't any friction with my parents.
And I can't say things have changed in my life because of it, except I that I no longer spend every Saturday in a place that has nothing to do with my beliefs.
