I was just wondering, people who were brought up religious, do you actually believe in your religion? And to what extent?
I just turned 16 and have been brought up Roman Catholic all my life. The thing is, I'm not really sure I believe in God at all... I know that sounds REALLY bad but it's true =[
I have other friends who are Catholic, and some who are Protestant or Jewish, and a lot of them have said the same to me, that they don't really believe a lot of the stuff they learn but they go along with it anyway, and they will bring their kids up that way because they feel they should.
Also, do you/did you ever go to a religious school? I go to a Catholic state-run school and I know a lot of (non-Catholic) adults who are saying it is a waste of the government's money to run faith schools. Do you feel like too much of your school time was spent on religion? At primary school we spent a lot of time learning about our religion and going to mass. So we missed out on a lot of other stuff
