That is an odd thing to feel guilty about. You don't need exposure to religion in order to understand the world, obviously. Heck, I didn't even know what religion was for until I was eleven and got teased at school for not having a religion, worse for not even knowing what an actual religion was. When I asked my parents about it, they gave me lots of books on world mythology and told me about my Jewish heritage (Mom's family) and Dad's Catholic family, and explained why we observe Hanukah and Christmas without any of the religious aspects. I knew I was hooked on paganism from age six when I got obsessed with Greek mythology, but didn't understand the actual religious parts of anything.
