At one point I was talking to the vet tech in charge of the spay-and-neuter clinic of the MDSPCA, and we got on the topic of religion, and I was explaining to him how my parents raised the family entirely areligious except for the yearly Chinese New Year temple visit to appease my paternal grandma (mostly because they were too lazy to be actively any-sort-of-religious) and he boggled at me like I'd sprouted a Martian out of my ear. For him it was a tough struggle to throw off the confines of his Catholic upbringing (getting to atheism "uphill both ways in the snow, barefoot") and it was just incredible to him that I could "attain Nirvana" without a second thought.

apologies for the horrendous religious mixaphor >_>;;
