I was raised catholic, but I also had a decent public education and as I got older, and continued learning, there was no room for religion. The concept of believing in a god became a foolish self-delusion to me. And for a long time now I've been an atheist, but I don't seek out atheist belief systems. I'm of the opinion that there is no great order, no superior way to live and be a human being. However, I have no anger for any religion. I don't look down on religious folks or scorn them. Deep down, religions can foster hate and fear, but also kindness and compassion. Someone preaching tolerance and and compassion in the name of God isn't going to catch any flack from me. I don't consider the zealots, extremists, and narrativists that claim to fight for god to be representing Catholicism or Christianity. The same thing goes for extremists that exist in all religions. But I don't feel weird or out of place saying 'Grace' at the table. It's more of a customary thing than a religious thing from my perspective. I guess it's never felt out of place to me.
