It's the only way I found not to offend people. Plus, I get to participate in all the major holidays!!

You're like me! Difference being that I'm going to continue with the quote-unquote-label of Agnosticism. Like you, I was raised Catholic and did all the fancy jibber jabber, but around 12-13 years old, I just started wondering. Happy in my ignorance though, I just kept at it even though I had my own questions and concerns. Around the end of high school I, again, ignorantly decided to go with Atheism because of having read a few things and being generally disgusted by organized theories of thoughts on religion. Without going into a long explanation and the thought process behind the reasoning and the choices made, I'm comfortable with my choice of "labeling" myself agnostic while still (and always) keeping an open mind to the opinions and thoughts of others. Anyway, great read! Well done Hey! You’re like me! Difference being that I’m going to continue with the quote-unquote-label of Agnosticism.
