On Religion

A semi-long essay on religion for our english-speaking readers.

A blessed childhood
As a kid I went from agnostic to atheist, when I came to the conclusion that this religion-thingy with God and Jesus was rather silly, and really didn't add much to my understanding of the world – rather subtracted actually. That said, I suspect I have been rather blessed (pun intended) having grown up in one of the most secular parts (inland) of one of the most secular countries in the world (Norway).The only people who went to church where I come from (except Christmas eve) were old people, born at the start of the 20th century, and in this perspective I used to think that religion would die out by it self within a few decades.
