Are your beliefs the same as your parents?

Question

...or did you decide for yourself what to believe?

Answer 1

I think to a certain point, they started me off with certain beliefs and those beliefs taught me how to make my own. So some are similar, many are very very different.

Answer 2

My beliefs are very different. I chose for myself what I wanted to believe or not believe in. They aren't too happy bout that, but then, that's just the way it is. But I do hv to remain respectful and polite with their beliefs.

Answer 3

We are at absolutely different ends of the spectrum. After some education I decided for myself.

Answer 4

I do have the same religion as my parents, but I did decide that i wanted that religion through some research and study of other religions as well.

Answer 5

Nope. My father was agnostic or atheistic, never could really tell which. My mother just believed in God then converted to the Jehovah's Witnesses then left it. I started agnostic like my father, but converted to faith later on.

Answer 6

I decided for myself and it's a ***** to come out in a sense to be a different religion is sometimes just as hard as coming gay...(oh boy I have two!) and I rather keep it to myself unless I'm forced to go to church.

Answer 7

Religious indoctrination at a very young age has left me with a severe distrust of Christianity...

Answer 8

No. I was raised Missionary Baptist. I found the religion boring and too restrictive. I became a Pagan when I was 20 and have been one ever since.

Answer 9

No my parents were Lutheran. Was exposed to many different denominations and religions. I am an Atheist

Answer 10

mum=atheist
dad=some weird alternative religion
me=atheist

My mum never really talked about religion with me initially, but supported me when I started questioning christianity. Where I'm from, most people are not religious anyway, so it was no big deal.
