My mother was (is) a loving and moderate Christian and honestly everything I would hope to see in a religious person (if lack of religion is impossible, of course).
"They tend to be more or less against religion." Looks like you're not really making a point here. Furthermore, most of the people who grow up in a religious environment remain religious. I also didn't have any sort of violent reaction to my religious upbringing. As I said, my disbelief grew slowly and gradually for several years.
