I'm afraid that my story doesn't quite refute the trope the way yours does, since as I think I may have mentioned, I was raised Christian and it took me until I was all of 22 years old to become the atheist I've been for the past 6 years. (Of course, I believed in the other gods too back then, just that they were supposed to be lower in the hierarchy or something) My b/f, like you, has always been an atheist and has no idea of what it could be like to be brought up otherwise. I have to admit that I sometimes trust his judgment more than mine based on that, because if I could be that wrong about something that seems so obvious now for such a long time without having been aware of it, how do I know what I could be missing now?
