i'm christian by birth, but i do not consider myself a religious person. i think that every religion is equal, but i'm not a strong believer in god (in the meaning, that he is such a supernatural creature, who can rule our lives, who can punish me for all my sins). and, frankly speaking, i do not like the idea, that i should be affraid of god, because he is more powerful than me. i do not understand the idea of religion, which is based on fear of god. i prefer love, respect and other things of this kind. and i think, that god is some kind of energy, or, maybe, nature.... or... i just don't know.
I was born without any Religious belief. I'm puzzled that anyone should be born believing. I was taught Xtianity by a nice man with a stick. As soon as I began to think;I returned to my original state.
Nobody is born with salvation; they may be born into a religion. Religion will never bring salvation, that takes God getting a hold of the heart of someone. I accepted Christ as my savior, thus I became a Christian. But my walk with God is mine alone, not pre-packaged by any branch of Christianity...
God Bless

I was born into a Roman Catholic family and I still practice this religion. I attend church on Sunday's because I want too and my children accompany me. I was never forced to attend church as a child and I feel because of this I wanted to attend as my children do today.
I was born and raised as a Catholic. Now I am an atheist.
Roman Catholic is my religion. Hi EricP, would you mind if I ask you why you shifted to be an atheist?
I never really believed in god, even as a teenager wasting away countless beautiful Saturdays in stuffy, lengthy catechism classes. I basically went through the motions, following the path of least resistance to avoid confrontations with my parents. I became much more certain of my own personal lack of belief when I began reading philosophy. When I discovered the writings of Bertrand Russell, Nietzsche, Voltaire, Diderot, D'Holbach, Freud, Marx, and Darwin, I felt like a whole new world opened up to me. I haven't looked back since. I think that I became a much happier person once I moved away from home and was able to stop pretending.Quote:

As Muslim youth it seem to me that religious people were most wicked people in the world. That had me look to other religion which did much to expand my knowledge. Today my view nondenominational.

*not that I was born a Christian - kinda looked funny when I saw it. I was born into a Christian family and became a Christian myself kind of late, age 26. Though I went to Church all my life. I respected Christianity, believed that Jesus was the answer, but still wanted to control my own life for 26 years until I gave it to Jesus (like I should have done many years prior).
I'm a Hindu
Birth Religion; Roman Catholic
Current Religious Status; Spiritualist
Desmond Tutu is not Catholic. I believe he's Anglican.Quote:
