How many people here come from a religious or faith filled family..who now do not believe the same as your family did?
I myself am a Christian and come from a family of non believers...so I am different from what I grew up knowing..how about you?

My parents are both religious, although not as badly religious as some. I come from an area that is very religious, but I was always the one who never believed. I have not changed that since I was little, but I was never the same as them :) Hope this helps!

Well I certainly am religious. I am of the Christian Faith (A member of the Church of Christ) Most if not all of my family are religious and follow some religious group. This is not uncommon in The Bahamas. Every household is familiar with Christ and his doctrine. we are now getting an increase in the Rastafarian faith and Islamic beliefs but Christianity is definitely the mean belief of our entire nation even if it is not practiced by all.

I was brought up Lutheran and I now Practice Krishna Consciousness. We also accept that Christ is the Son of God but not the way of many fanatical Christians. Krishna Consciousness also known as Bhakti Yoga or Sanatan Dharma or Vaisnavism is the oldest teaching of God (over 5,000 years). My family was shocked at first but in time as they began to understand the tracings my parents say they respect my beliefs very much but they are to conditioned to their own ways to follow though they think what I do is correct. Such as I am vegetarian and chant on beads 2 and a half hours a day on beads the Names of God and offer all my food to God and do everything for God also known as Krishna, Allah,Jehovah, Vishnu,etc.) I love what I do it is my life my soul. It is not a religion but the eternal occupation of the soul. For info go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita as it is BY Bhaktivedanta PRabhupada- It is the More I have to tell you." that Jesus was talking about.

When I was a child my mother was Baptist but is now Presbyterian, my father is a Methodist but given his age and health no longer attends any kind of church. My brother is a Presbyterian and attends the same church my mother does. My husband is an Anglican but here in America when he does attend church he goes to an Episcopalian Church.
Myself, I'm an agnostic and I only go to churches for weddings and funerals. I left christianity in 1984 when I was 15 years old.

We were church going, religious types, but never taught how to have a deep abiding relationship with Jesus. I know they do now and so do my brother and I. My sister however, says she is an atheist.

I tied to not believe (in the God of the Bible) but had to give up and give in . . . I am of the same belief system as my parents . . .
