Well, my mother is a pretty much lapsed Catholic, although she still puts up a pretence of being offended by Dave Allen, but I was brought up more or less atheistically, apart from school assemblies and the fact that I went to a Church of England school, so I suppose I'm an agnostic existentialist second-generation-lapsed Catholic (I don't go to church, but the church I don't go to is definitely Catholic).

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a
really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually
change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again.  They
really do it.  It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists
are human and change is sometimes painful.  But it happens every day.  I
cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or
religion." 
                -- Carl Sagan, 1987 CSICOP keynote address
