No. They are Christians. I am not a Christian, so that's the reason we don't have the same religion.

I wasn't. I always disagreed with them about religion. I was a bit of a pioneer in my family, always an independent thinker. They were not into religion, but when it would come up, they didn't want to hear much at all about Jesus and the Bible. In fact they didn't want to hear any of it.
But there were two major things that set me apart from the family that I was raised in; 1) Prejudice against blacks especially the way to be, and I went against that; 2) Becoming a Christian was done by word only, but with none of the knowledge. There was no recognition of the Bible as anything to believe, especially as a way of life ( that was my dad's way of looking at it.)
So in essence, between me and one of my brothers, we became Christian first in our family. The rest of the family called it religion, but we called it believing God.

No, my mom and dad were different religions. I ended up being Non Denominational. I wanted my focus to be on my relationship with the Lord and not on the legalism of religion.

No. My mom was raised Catholic, and is currently non-practicing. My dad was raised New Apostolic, but is agnostic. I was a non-practicing Catholic for a while, but now lean more toward Earth-based religions and Wicca, and I attend a Unitarian Universalist Church.

No. I was raised in a Methodist church by my mother, and I left the church as soon as it was politically expedient. My dad's had a much longer and stranger religious journey than I have, but we've rarely held similar opinions about religion.

No. My mother is a Catholic. My maternal grandmother is a Protestant. My maternal grandfather was a Deist.
My father and his mother, whom I have never been in contact with, are Pentecostal.
