What's your religion?

Question

Why did you choose it?
Does your family practice the same one as you?
Are there many people in your area who share your religion?

My answer:
I'm Pagan.
I chose it because most of my beliefs are basically pagan and it seems right to me.
My family's mostly Christian.
I only know of a few people in my area who are pagan- most are christians.

Answer 1

Atheist
Wife is recovering Catholic
Oldest daughter wanted to be Mormon
Middle Daughter is Christian
I doubt my son has ever thought about it.
My youngest daughter goes to a Baptist Daycare if that counts for anything.
I was raised 7th day Adventist.
We have more Atheists in Washington than any other state in the Union. I'm sure California would be up there in that statistic too if it weren't for all the Catholic Mexicans crossing the border

Answer 2

I am Wiccan. My husband is Protestant. My family is all Baptist as far as I know. Our children will be raised exposed to different beliefs and will be encouraged to find what works best for them. We have a young son and are trying to conceive a second baby now.

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and there seems to be a fairly good number of Pagan's around here, Pagan Pride Day is in September, there are regular Pagan meetings around the city and in Toronto and the KW area, you just need to know where to look and how to find us.

I don't think I chose to be Wiccan, it kind of found me more than 10 years ago. I was raised with Christian beliefs, but not very religious. We celebrated the holidays but like I said to people before I celebrated Christmas with Santa and Easter with the Easter bunny. Halloween was always a big favourite but not for the candy we got.

Answer 3

Merry meet!

I am also Pagan. Wiccan to be exact. I choose this at my religion because I have had this belief system all my life without prompting.

My family is Christian, save for my brother who is Agnostic. My mother, on the other hand, takes the dogma out of Christianity and is simply spiritually Christian. She accepts what I believe and has a bit of interest in it.

There are a fair amount of people in my city who are Pagan. I met a few through MeetUp.com where they set up a monthly "Pagan Night Out". You should try that site, too, to see if there are more Pagans in your area.

Blessed be!

Answer 4

I am Pagan.
Most of my family is Roman Catholic. A few are atheist, and one practices Santeria.
I chose it because....well it felt right to me. Made me whole. Peaceful. It fit what I had felt my whole life, though I had never known about it. It was a free choice, without bias, and that is what helped me know it was right for me.
I know very few Pagans in my area, but I am still new to it, and hope in time, to meet more. I would love to meet others, it is easier to learn from others than from a book. I know I have many years, if not a lifetime, left to my journey, but I am dedicated, and it feels great. Blessings!

Answer 5

I am not an atheist nor a christian by definition. I am a freethinker whose goal is to lessen the burden of faith and belief with answers that would further advance my inquisition closer to understanding God.

Some members of my devout family are devout catholics, others join a small christian sect.

I believe there's none in my area share my stand of religious and spiritual issues. This is why I am here.

Answer 6

Mono-Poly-theistic Universal Evolutionary Creationism
(basically that's just a long drawn out way of saying that I believe in all possibilities, and no particular religion. By the way, I don't beileve in worship, and if there is a God(s), I don't think he'd want us waisting our time worshiping him/her/them.)
Because I created it, and it's the only thing that makes sense to me.
No. They're mostly Christian, Agnostic, or Pagan.
Just my Boyfriend. Actually I think we're the only two in the world.

Answer 7

Pagan. Parents christian, but sister some odd thing in between. Yes, quite a few here. Last Samhain we had about 150 gathered in Jacksonville FL.

Answer 8

I'm Catholic.
I converted on my own free will.
My family is Catholic too, we all converted together.
I believe in everything the Catholic chuch teaches.

Its interesting to hear that you are Pagan and the rest of your family practices Christianity..I admire you're diversity.

Answer 9

I'm Catholic...or was raised in a Catholic family. My boyfriend's Mormon. I'm not too sure what my sister is...my Mom is Catholic...and I think Dad's an Atheist. But...we're all open minded when it comes to religion, so we're good to go, either way!

Answer 10

I'm Muslim..because it fits my beliefs and is good way of life ....my family Catholic..yes i know several Muslims in my area..mostly though--Christians living this area
