What Was Your Family's Religion?

[rawTOP]

Just curious - what religion you guys were brought up as... Not what you are now - but what you're parents practiced and taught you to be as a kid.

Personally I was brought up as a mix of evangelical and fundamentalists Christian. It was so "out there" that it was actually really easy to reject when I finally thought things through in college.

I was raised as a Lutheran

Roman catholic. First communion. Left when I got to high school and now go to christian church on occasion.

Family was Roman Catholic (though non-practising) , and went through their school system. Although there were some rumours and innuendo, they never did anything to me. I just left because of fundamental differences of opinion, and I considered them hypocritical.

My father was Roman Catholic and my mother is Lutheran, which ment for us kids to be rasied Roman Catholic. I learned to play the organ and (living in a Lutheran dominated area) started working for the Lutherans on sundays.

Some 15 years ago I finally left the Catholics and joined the Lutherans after the pope once again said something very stupid against homosexuals.

my family's "religion" was bigotry.

Baptist. Fucking nuts.

I was raised Catholic. Now I only worship cocks.

Raised Catholic and still am, but I am a "cafeteria" Catholic in that I choose the doctrines that I can rationally believe. Obviously, I am not buying the church's teachings on sex in general, and homosexuality in particular.

Some kind of Catholic, but after my parents got divorce they kinda gave up on forcing us to go to church. Didn't make us start going again after they got remarried either thankfully.

My family is italian american so I was raised catholic, quite strictly and my parents didn't talk to me for about 5 years when I came out but we have made up again

I was raised Jewish. it was never forced upon me and I was a teenager just past my bar mitzvah when I threw it out the window and proclaimed myself an atheist. I have more an issue with zionists than I do Jews, but all in all I have disdain for the community and the faith, and have come to learn much of the stereotypes are very true although its depends on the person of course.

My parents never went to church and left it up for me to decide when I was old enough if I wanted to be religious. With out the brainwashing most kids get I grew up not believing in gods.

was raised Methodist, but got out of that when I left home and became a Druid
