For lrstrobel:

1. Yes.

2. Pretty much, yes. Questioned during grade school, confirmation was due to parental coercion and not belief, and when I hit college I bailed. I then spent a couple decades ignoring the issue.

3. Ooh, that's tough, because there isn't really one (nor is it a major area of personal fandom). Probably Bugs Bunny, or if you want a more specific answer, the Marvin the Martian shows (though I disliked Daffy Duck in general). If I had encountered it at an appropriate age I'd probably say Bullwinkle.

But then, there are some remarkably good feature-length cartoons out there too. I don't think I have a particular favorite, though.

4. To encourage, to facilitate, to share what I know, to continue to grow, and to know the signs of burnout. There is nothing here that is specific to that particular peerage, really.
