Atheists are the only people on the right path. Rest on the wrong paths like seven blind men describing an elephant.

I think believing or not believing in God doesn't have a whole lot to do with parents. I think there comes a moment of truth in everyone's life, when s(he) has the opportunity to follow, or throw it away. I think it helps to have parents who raised you with faith, because when the goin' gets tough, at least you have somewhere to go to. But, ultimately, it's an individual thing between you and God.
They say a man (person) never looks up 'til s(he)'s flat on her/his back. I, at least, had to be flat on my back (brought to my knees) before I was ready to look for answers. I thank God for the suffering that brought me to Him. As long as we are complacent, self-satisfied, and comfortable we won't have the need for Him, and I don't know if we'd ever find Him.

I was raised by atheist parents. They said to me "we are not going to force any religion on you. If you choose a religion we will be supportive of you what ever you choose." While i did look into a few i found that i can gain a sense of purpose and set of morals through being active in the community and doing my bit to improve quality of life for those in need. I do not need to be a christian or of any other faith to achieve this.

Probably. I was raised by mainline Christian parents (Presbyterian) but I am now MUCH more conservative than they are, and I consider myself a non-denominational Christian. I think that it's definitely possible to believe in something completely different than your parents.

My parents were both worshippers of ancestors (practice from China, Hainan island) which make me technically the daughter of atheist parents. My parents followed ancestral worship out of filial piety and traditions. However my family, most of us are christians now.

We should each follow our own path in our beliefs. Both my parents are christians but I am an atheist. I don't see why it couldn't be the other way around!

Yes, everyone believe in God either being atheist or non-atheist.
Just self lack of knowledge on the existence of our creator on planet earth.
When they did not find and answer a piece of question on "who are you" left behind by our creator on planet earth.
Their ticket pass to find their way home to our creator on planet earth.

My parents were devout Catholics. One of my sisters is still a Catholic (who doesn't attend church because the parish priest is an insufferable bigot and misogynist); our brother is some strain of Baptist (converted in college); my other sister and I are atheists.
Most children will follow in their parents' faith. But not all of them.

Not necessarily. I'm an atheist, but my parents and children beleive in God (or at least say they do).
Likewise, gay children can come from 'straight' parents and vice versa.
