Would you honestly say that from a very early age you rebelled against the idea of religion? I remember vividly a time when I was very young, perhaps 3-4, with both my sister and I sobbing because we'd both come to the conclusion that we would be going to hell.
I think fear of hell was something I held for quite a long time, even to some degree after I had decided I was an atheist (I appreciate the paradox). When you realised you were gay, was religion of no concern to you by that point at all?
