Do you hold the same religious belives as your parents/what you were taught? [Spirituality & Religion]

I'm not asking what you believe nor don't believe...just if it is the same or different than what your parent believe(d), or what you were taught.

No. When it comes to religion we do not share any beliefs. It isn't a topic of conversation either. They never tried to make me or my siblings believe a certain way, they share what they believe and will answer any questions but the rest is up to us. Also, should we choose to go a different direction, they would not be upset or disappointed unless we were causing harm in some way. I suppose my siblings and I are fortunate in that way.

Personally I liked them. I had experiences. Mostly in dreams. I saw Gods and Goddesses. I saw them helping me. What more I can say? I am speechless and I am blessed and thankful to them.

[c=#7700B2]My family are Christians and I was raised to be that way but at a early age I stopped believing in it and don't share that with my family anymore[/c]
My parents never discuss religion or politics growing up.. I suspect they sit on opposite sides of the isle

Yes and no. I believe in God, most certainly, and I believe in most of the things I learned in CCD class. I suppose I will always feel that I am returning to a childhood "home" when I hear and see elements of that religion, and I do sometimes feel some misguided nostalgia.

But I have encountered more hatred and intolerance in that church than I can stomach, and I don't think I will try again to go back, as I once did.

Not exactly.

We are all Christian but my mom and dad are Baptists and I am Episcopalian.

I do not hold the beliefs they did or what they tried to raise me as...it played a part in why my relationship was strained between us.

Not at all. My parents are fervent atheists, and I a devoted Christian.
