I'd always questioned religious beliefs throughout my life, but never cottoned on (that there was no God) until I started studying psychology at university.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003200974688946575.post-2784708409514474562012-11-01T15:05:21.919-07:002012-11-01T15:05:21.919-07:00If I had been born 500 years ago, I think I would ...If I had been born 500 years ago, I think I would believe in God. It took a long time for me to become an atheist. It didn't happen until I was thirty years old. At first I was Catholic for many years.
