Abstract
I began my Christian life as a fundamentalist. I was baptized as a baby in the Church of England and was taken as a child and teenager to its services, which were to me a matter of infinite boredom. The whole Christian ‘thing’ seemed to me utterly lifeless and uninteresting. But I was nevertheless conscious of being in some kind of long-term state of spiritual dissatisfaction and search. My unformed world-view was broadly humanist. At the age of 16 I was thrilled by the writings of Nietzsche and greatly enjoyed reading Bertrand Russell.
