You might or you might not.
It wouldn't make much difference to God's actual existence, or the strength of the claims that some people make about knowing God is there.
Watch out for the 'genetic fallacy' where you confuse the veractity (truth or falsity) of a belief with it's origin. For example: The disciples might have believed in God and the resurrection of Jesus from the dead because they were scared, or perhaps because their parents believed it. It wouldn't make any difference. What would really matter is whether God actually exists and did Jesus of Nazareth actually come back from the dead?

I was saved a long time before my parents would even let me talk about God around them. They didn't even come to my baptism. As a matter of fact, it took a tragedy to show them God existed. So yes, I would believe in God even if my parents didn't.

I don't know. I wouldn't have been religious when I was in grade school, but I think I would have ended up a "god lover" in the end. I have thought about this a lot though because I wonder how things would have been different.
Good Question!

Many people follow the religion of their parents, others don't.
Those who don't believe are completely lost.
Those who blindly follow their parents are also lost.
Those who read the Holy Scriptures and worship God with their own knowledge are evidently very praiseworthy.

I can't really answer that one, because if my parents weren't Christians I don't know when I would have heard about God. However, I'm not a Christian just because my parents are, its a decision I made for myself and a commitment that I have chosen to stick to.

Believing can not be made by parents, or friends or anyone except yourself. It could be only when you are too young or retarded. When the time comes, everybody will have their choice of believes on their own will.

My parents didn't believe in religion but they allow me to explore other beliefs. I haven't chose a religion and I don't intend to but I do believe in God.
