First a little background about me. I was raised in a Catholic family and went through the whole religious education thing in school and was confirmed by the local Bishop, etc. etc. Somewhere around 3rd or 4th grade I started to have serious doubts about the factual truth of the Bible, specifically the Old Testament's version of how the Earth was created and how life came to be.
During basic training I attended Catholic mass but that was mostly just a way to get out of the barracks for a couple of hours on a Sunday morning. At my duty station in Germany I pretty much didn't do anything religious because I was too busy working and having fun living in Europe as a single 20-something. When I was deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in 2003 I had a few words with God during the invasion, especially during the sand storm that rendered us effectively blind for 24 hours. Later on during the first few months of the occupation of Iraq I got to see firsthand the effects of religious zealotry.
I guess that I should point out my job in the Army was a 19D Armored Reconnaissance Specialist. The TL:DR on that job is that we shot guns and drove trucks (Humvees).
The net result is that from 2003 I am an agnostic. I don't know for sure if there is a God or not and what form or forms he might manifest himself in. What I do know is that religious extremism of all stripes (Christian, Muslim, etc.) is a divisive and dangerous force.
