I WAS A CHURCH GOING CHRISTIAN BUT COULDN'T TAKE THE HYPOCRISIES ANY LONGER! the goody two shoes patrol constantly telling me how and what!
NOW I am still a believer of the teachings of Jesus Christ! if that means I am christian -so be it - but I don't belong to any one or any church! I have believes that I keep to myself , I am tolerant and I am OK with other religions .I don't preach and I don't like to be preached to!
life is good when you don't belong to an institution! some people need to follow some group to reinforce their believes ,
I am cool with what I know ,in peace and chilling!

I was Baptist but never believed what they say like when you die you go to heaven or hell. I thought well then judgment day has no meaning. "Judgment day is when Christ comes back" well if when we die we go strait to heaven or hell than that doesn't make since because Jesus has not came back " The second coming". There are many things I did not believe so I prayed to god and asked him to lead me in the right direction , The next morning I woke up and there were missionaries knocking at my door. At first I did not want to listen to what they had to say. Like most people I believed all of the false things about Mormons such as more than one wife "not true" but I said to my self I have nothing to lose by talking with them. After listening to them talk I wanted to know more and more. The more I learned the more everything maid since. The way that Jesus organized his church when he is alive is the way are church is organized such as the 12 Apostles and our prophet. I looked at it this way that if Jesus wanted it it be like that back than wouldn't him and god want it to be like this now. I know now that the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saint aka Mormon is the true church and I am so great full that those missionaries came to my door that day and that god answered my prayer. just to make it clear i do not have any problem with any other Church its just not right for me. There are so many things that I have always looked for in a church and I found it.

I was raised Catholic, and now am Wiccan/Pagan. One day I just realized that I really didn't believe what I was saying in the Catholic faith (example, The Creed). I've found to be happier as a Pagan/Wiccan despite those that "condemn" me or my religion. It's a personal choice, and the only person who can decide what's right in the religious area, is yourself. I have had problems with others (even my family) accepting my religion, so we just avoid that area altogether. No one is going to be accepting of everything, not even your family.

I was raised Baptist Christian, but I've never had a whole lot of faith in it, can't explain why I just haven't. I'm seriously looking into Wicca though, it has pretty much everything I've always personaly believed I just didn't know what to call it.

I was raised a Christian and went through different beliefs (Wicca, Gnostic, Atheist) before I came to Islam. I realized that Islam is the right path for me and I'm very happy and proud to be a Muslim.

Raised Christian, became Agnostic around 11. Looked a alot of religions and realised they are superstion and mostly fear based, man made creations.

I was raised Catholic, but I've always been an atheist. None of it ever made any sense to me. So I'm kind of a convert.

Southern Baptist to Agnostic to Atheist.
I studied Islam for awhile but found it was a rehash of Christianity and Judaism and decided it was not for me.
I prefer thinking for myself instead of being told what to believe and how to live my life by rules created by men.

I guess you can say that once we were all in an agnostic state, not knowing much about God. However, I seeked, and I was found, so now I am a Christian.
