    I was raised by a She Wolf in an Idaho cave. Religion, unknown.
    "He was nauseous with regret when he saw her face again, and when, as of yore, he pleaded and begged at her knees for the joy of her being. She understood Neal; she stroked his hair; she knew he was mad."

    I envy that kind of freedom.
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    I was born into a Buddhist family, but I don't practice much anymore.

    I am a Christian, Protestant to be more specific, according to my family. According to my own views, I am Agnostic with a little bit of Pagan/Wiccan thrown in.
    This is just the beginning.

    My Father is protestant and for the most part we were raised protestant -- went to church every Sunday -- but my Mother is Jewish, so I was exposed to that religion as well. Especially around the holidays. Now I'm atheist, and haven't gone to church in about 3 years.

    I was born Muslim, raised in a predominantly conservative Muslim context, and still am a Muslim.

    I'm 50% Chinese and Malay. I'm Asian, so you'd probably not have heard of the Malay race

    I am Roman Catholic. Was baptized Roman Catholic, am Roman Catholic today, and will remain Roman Catholic and devoted to the Church, though I don't always attend every week.

    I'm Dutch, French, and believe it or not, Chinese. (I know I don't look it.)

    My mother was raised as a Catholic. My father was raised as a non-practicing Episcopalian. My parents became Lutherans. I became a Baptist. One sister remained Lutheran. One sister became Catholic. Maybe kids like a different brand of religion than their parents.

    My one-year-old nephew is in the same boat. How did your parents handle the issue of "Who Was/Is Jesus"?
