I am not a religious person. There! I said it.
My parents were not religious either. They were first generation Americans born in 1914 and 1918 and grew up during the Great Depression struggling to get by in Brooklyn, New York.
I am a Baby Boomer, born in 1947, and really have no idea what life must have been like for them. I have no idea of struggling to get by. As a child, I had no idea I was not religious, because it was never present in my household -- there were no rituals, and therefore I was never "programmed" to have a sense of God and needing to follow some set of religious rules.
I was raised in the '50s and '60s and pretty much learned right from wrong by watching the early days of TV. Cowboys and Indians defined the good guys and the bad guys, right from wrong. It took many years to realize my programming was faulty.
