Atheist, although I did have my confirmation, which is kind of a tradition here (marking entering adulthood and getting gifts), despite the country being extremely none religious as a whole.  So was never much of an active choice for me.

Never went to church other than that and funerals/people getting married, and never knew anyone who were religious growing up, with the exception of a few middle eastern kids in my class who's parents would sometimes pray. But they also seemed to fairly quickly start not caring that much as well after coming here. I remember a Muslim kid in my class where his family started doing Christmas after he came here. I guess holidays and eating good food trumps religion.

Going to the US for a few months as a student and doing prayers before eating really blew my mind, always just seemed like something people did in movies. I guess I'm a bit thick, but it never even entered my minds I would be doing that, when coming and living with a random family. Then I went and lived for a bit in the Philippines 10 years later or so, where people took Christanity even more seriously.
