No, I have never been religious. I did, however, read the entire Bible in high school for a literature class. Well, okay, except for all those pages of "this dude begat that dude, and so on...." I just mentally substituted "uh, yeah, Methuselah was old and Jesus was descended from King David and all those dudes."
That's not nearly as strange as it sounds, because one really does need to understand the Bible to really grasp the nuances of much of Western literature.
