I grew up in the 2000's. Parents weren't religious and we only went to Mass every Christmas/Easter. I went to a 'Catholic' school and went through the motions but we hardly learned anything about Catholic theology or philosophy. Thus I was pretty indifferent towards religion and considered myself an agnostic.

It wasn't until I left school that I heard about St. Thomas Aquinas and his arguments for God's existence. I eventually came to see that my lack of belief in God and Catholicism was based primarily on misunderstandings, as well as an ignorance of the intellectual tradition that has put forth very articulate reasons to believe in God and the Catholic Church. Ultimately I converted and I'm now a practicing Catholic— a rarity in my generation for sure, but Ireland has a wonderful Catholic heritage which has been a joy to embrace.
