Obviously, on this forum, we have many members of different backgrounds, and I wondered if any of you came from a religious background. So I have a few questions, not only for myself, but for anyone's information: did you get raised in any specific religion as a child, what did you think of it, and have you changed since then, altering your religion or beliefs? Lastly, do you see yourself ever drastically changing your religion or beliefs again?
I thought of creating a poll for this thread, but judged that a poll may seem too limiting with only so many choices. I feel greatly interested in the drift-and-shift of thought, so to speak - what one gets raised with, how it changes his/her perspective, and where one proceeds.
As in any thread, I think it very important to obey the forum rules by respecting other members' beliefs, backgrounds, and diversity of thought.
I will start, answering my own questions. My parents and grandparents raised me Christian (though not baptized until about age 8 as Catholic), and I attended Sunday morning church every week with my grandparents (and sometimes one parent).
Of course, as a child, I thought most of the sermons somewhat boring, but as I grew older, I got more and more interested. I had always loved science, suddenly, I had a large interest in the natural sciences, philosophy, psychology, and the like. From there, as I termed in a few other threads, I suppose I label myself as a skeptic-spiritual theist.
