I think anything else would be just as irrational and fundamental as being fanatically religious. I'm not an expert, but going back on the topic I suppose a Cambrian rabbit fossil would have to convince me too.

I don't think that's the case really, my religious journey was quite brief, maybe 3-4 years around the age of maybe 12-15. I don't come from a religious family and I live in a top5 least religious nations on the planet. Indoctrinated was a bit excessive term on my part. I don't have any personal agenda against religion itself, merely on its effects on the world, how its used to oppress and herd people and all the atrocities made in its name.
