Just stopped buying it when I was 10 years old or so. Mom never made me go back to church after.
There are some interesting things about religion. For instance, society doesn't start to organize and flourish until the introduction of organized monotheistic religion appears. Many African nations which are to this day tribal are still not civilized societies. Realistically the best chance for these African countries is for Islam to spread. We're seeing that happen now.
Many people are starting to believe religion is actually hardwired in to us as an evolutionary device. It seems to me that while critical for the beginings of society, after a certain point it begins to hinder advancements. I think we're at that point now.
