I didn't really have a religious upbringing. I never went to church. But my dad often quoted from the new testament and spoke a lot of Buddhism, and I believe this greatly contributed to the development of my morality and philosophy.

“the sense of being which in calm hours arises, we know not how, in the soul, is not diverse from things, from space, from light, from time, from man, but one with them and proceeds obviously from the same source.... Here is the fountain of action and of thought....
My religious background had much stronger impact on me when I was a child. My husband is a catholic and goes to church once for a week but I don`t. Well I can go but I don`t feel involved in it.
I only value them in the sense that they have gotten me to where I am today. I was raised under a specific sect of Christianity, was baptized into the LDS (mormon) church at age 21, and have sense left all in search of my own spirituality, where I have grown the most as a person, and become closer to my God.
