Ignorance is bliss I suppose : ) I wasn't always an atheist.
I suppose so. Ironically (or perhaps not), I've found that most people I've met who profess to be atheists after having rejected some religion or another really actually knew quite little about the religion they rejected. You wouldn't believe some of the outlandishly silly "reasons" for rejecting Christianity that I've heard - "reasons" which don't even have anything to do with it, but which the sceptic is just absolutely sure is some integral, foundational doctrine of the faith.
