What religion did your parents belong to?

Question

Did/does it effect your current beliefs ?

Answer 1

My dad was Presbyterian and my mother was Methodist. Both Christian of course. No it had no effect on me. I was encouraged to make my own decisions.

Answer 2

Well my Dad is a Catholic and my Mom was a Wiccan (I say was because she passed away). Both were raised as Christians as was I. My mother and I ended up finding religions that suited us better, she choose Wicca and I, Ásatrú. My Dad has reminded a Christian and constantly harasses me to believe in his God.

I would say that no matter what religion your parents are it will have some effect, the question is only a matter of how much.

Answer 3

Hinduism, and no, it hasn't influenced my beliefs but it has allowed me to be the person that I am, my parents have always been more open-minded than those of other religions, even with their traditional mindset, Hinduism is an underappreciated religion, I'm an agnostic and hinduism is not a religion but a culture for me

Answer 4

My father was brought up Lutheran, and my mother was not brought up in any religion. She is an agnostic, and her mother is an atheist. I'm a convert to Catholicism, so, no, it didn't affect my current beliefs.

Answer 5

My parents are Muslims, and so am I

but even if I was left without a religion until I've grown to a mature age, I would've also chosen ISLAM

Answer 6

Atheist. My dad eventually became a Christian, but I didn't know that until after I became one, because we didn't speak for 7 years after my parents divorced. We have a good relationship now. It makes my faith stronger knowing what I came out of, and that He still loved me despite what I was before I accepted Him.

Answer 7

Roman Catholic. It actually changed my beliefs from Christianity, I felt it was a hypocritical, greedy church. It also presented alot of frightening dogma to a young child. I never felt comfortable with Christianity. I converted to Buddhism as an adult, never regretted it.

Answer 8

My parents are methodist, and yes it affected my beliefs, but I found things out on my own too. I don't really consider myself methodist anymore, just plain old Christian.

Answer 9

My mom believes in Asian religion and strange spirituality about psychics and such. She has not influenced me at all.

My dad is a Christian, but he hasn't influenced me either. Everything I believe I learned on my own.

Answer 10

They were Christians. And, yes----------it effects me today. I could never follow a religion that says that Jesus is G-d. There is no G-d but G-d, and Jesus is not him.
