I have endeavoured to be a freethinker for most of my life – preferring to think things through for myself and discuss with others and not be told what to think, what to say or do or what to believe in. For the first fifteen to twenty years of my life I was a Roman Catholic. – what had gone into my head growing up was very difficult to shake off and I find anything to do with all of that very disturbing. In fact anything I have done for over forty years like family funerals or religious rituals or ceremonies l have found really difficult. But I have always done them as l felt I should. I have discussed all these things with others over the years but that is frowned upon by some but there you go. I don’t know about other religions only the one I went through.
