I was initially raised entirely secularly - my parents (both atheists) never mentioned the concepts of god or religion to me, and my earliest childhood memory (at the age of three) was the girl next door (who was six at the time, and her family was hardline Calivinist Gereformeerd, Dutch Reformated Church) telling me about how on Sundays they went to some building called a church to talk and sing to some bloke who wasn't there, or so I understood it at the time. I told her bluntly that he must be off her rocker to talk to someone who wasn't there.
That was my first contact with religion, and my uncoached reaction to it.
