Funny, my Brother went the other way. he was an atheist from being a teenager, but when he had kids he became much more militant in his atheism. It all mattered much more. My SiL was raised catholic, and it's possible she might harbour some sort of belief, but she's never been a proponent of it with the kids. Both my brother and my SiL were delighted when the eldest did a satirical picture as her project in Religious Education (a compulsory subject in state schools would you believe?)
[eta] there's probably a lot less social pressure over here to be a believer though. Unless you're from a churchgoing family. And that's about slipping back to a belief system which was fairly thoroughly planted in the psyche and even when apparently despatched leaves an imprint.
