It's essentially the same for me. My parents were both raised religious, mom catholic dad I don't know what and they both hated it so I've only been to church a few times in my life and I didn't really understand any of it. I asked my mom and she says she's agnostic because no one can know for sure.
I on the other hand have had things happen to me that I can't explain without the existance of God, but I disagree that suicide and being gay are sins so I technically can't be Christian. I've also never read the Bible because I wouldn't understand any of it anyway. When forced to choose one I either say agnostic (even though I'm really not) or Roman catholic (non-practicing)
