I hate that it's so often assumed that atheism is some big rebellious statement against the organized religion of one's youth. I've had this conversations more times than I can count:
Person A: "What religion are you?"
Me: "I'm not religious."
Person A: "Yeah, yeah, but you know what I mean. What religion are your parents?"
Me: "None."
Person A: "But...what kind of church do they go to?"
