Do you follow the religion you were raised in or did you change to something else when you became an adult?

Answer 1

I changed. I was raised as a born again Christian. I have changed to Pagan as an adult.

Answer 2

Was raised Lutheran....old midwest boring Lutheran...I think it was just the area.....could not get the answers I was asking....why do we ignore the 4th commandment? visited many different churches and many different answers...

spent a short time with the left behind group and really felt dumber by the day.....
would sit in church with my Bible open and what I was reading and what the pastor was reading was completely different!? HUH? I simply could not get the dots to connect on any thing they said that was in the Bible...

spent many years working in nursing homes...worked in a 7th day adventist assisted living one for about a year.....the TV was always on to 3ABN and would listen while working.....

all the answers where there and were the same as the Bible...

All the dots connected...It is not a religion, it is a knowledge of faith and a connection to God...

The others offer way to much static which clouds the truth with mumbo jumbo....

Answer 3

I was raised Pentialcostel Holiness, now I say I am a Baptist. Penticostal Holiness, Church of God, and churches such as these, always seem to be trying better a building rather than the people. They always seem to be needing money, and they preach a lot about money. I never really understood their way of shouting either. So when I got old enough, I changed to a different church.

Answer 4

iwas in the church scene since i was a baby,i was a "born again christian" from the time i was five years old (yeah, like i really understood the concept of god at 5 years old, bastards) and i continued to go to church and several different youth groups up until the age of 17- i had my doubts throughout the whole experience, but was afraid to say anything because of the fear factor that religion has, but i didnt REALLY start to rationally doubt the whole religion thing until i was about between the ages of 13 and 15, and it was all because of an ignorant christian friend who practically took my head off when i suggested that the big bang, evolution, etc was possible BUT through our god only (why is it so hard to accept BOTH?)...took me a while to realize christianity was not for me (until age 17 as mentioned before), but i feel i have dome the right thing for myself....i do not consider myself to be an atheist though, more like agnostic...i believe it is possible for some higher power(possibly more than one) to exist, but the thing is nobody will ever truly know until death, and in death there is silence.
what i dont understand is why we can't agree to disagree...

Answer 5

I was raised by my grandmother, who is a Jehovah's witness. I attended meetings with her. I dont fully believe everything they teach, and that is why I am not a member. I am non-denominational. I am a child of God.
My grandmother is the kindest most loving and generous person I have ever know, so her religon cant be all that bad.

Answer 6

I find it depressing that a question like this would not even allude to the possibility that some people might not have been 'raised in' a religion at all.

I know you didn't mean anything by it, of course, but it's still a sad state for the world to be in where such a thing is commonplace.

Answer 7

I changed to something else more than once, was raised Methodist, as a teen I was into witchcraft and other such things, then I moved to another state and changed to Assembles of God(charismatic) (and my aunts are Catholic and have visited with them as a girl so i know what is believed by them too)

I am now Apostolic Pentecostal
and I know this is the truth

Answer 8

i understand what you recommend---i will bear in ideas my mom asserting that she believes that all and sundry could in basic terms stick to the religion they have been born into. I responded via asserting, "ok, so if somebody is born to a relatives that follows Satanism, then they could in basic terms shop being Satanists?" i'm rather from a relatives it is Catholic, yet slightly follows or believes what the Church teaches. I on the different hand began to stick to and have faith my Catholic faith as quickly as I reached adulthood.

Answer 9

Born and raised Catholic. Converted to Wicca around 15 or 16.

Answer 10

first part raised Baptist, Then Non-denominational, then Assembly of God and then Four Square by the time I was 19, As an Adult free to choose, I became Pagan.
