Me too...that's when I realised that BIG people (adults) told lies and after the Santa Claus brigade episode....religion (gods, angels etc.) at primary school fell into the same category as far as I was concerned...I was an atheist at 7 years old ! Got punished (strap) by the headmaster for not bowing my head and praying in class or assembly...father wrote a letter to same and never looked back...now a scientist of long standing !

I made a joke about the Holy Mary in primary school and was made to wash my mouth out with soap and, kept back a year from taking my Holy Communion. One of the nuns rapped me across the knuckles with the blunt side of a ruler for asking too many questions. Showed graphic pictures of abortions to deter us all from having one.
Ahhhh school - best days of your life!
p.s. I believe in Darwin's theories of evolution, so all in all, I'm not the God-fearing Catholic girl they tried to make me anyway so

Note I was wrong about Saint Nick being Scandinavian - apparently he is Turkish
