Another British state school-educated atheist checking in.
I’m from the bad old days when the only religion taught was Christianity, with a vague nod to the fact that it was possible, but not easy, to get to far-flung places in the world that might be different. I ended up as an atheist with a personal copy of a Bible with hand-colored illustrations - due to boredom in class - and enough knowledge of it to be able to quote a few passages, some of them in Latin. This is actually a quite useful skill.
The only church trip was once a year for Harvest Festival, which in the early seventies was more a pagan festival than Christian anyway. (Possibly still is?)
However, an Irishman once called me a “Protestant atheist” so I guess it all rubs off on you one way or another.
