If your father Cristian you also christian.
If your father muslim you are muslim.
If your father atheist you are atheist.

My father is a Catholic. I am a Buddhist.
I still respect his beliefs, but after much study of many world religions and belief systems, I have found the path I believe to be best for me at this time. If I discover that another path is truer, I would have no problem following it. If others are afraid to question their beliefs, how strong can their beliefs really be?

As I posted in some other topics, I was not raised a Christian. I was a devout atheist and hated God. But after ten plus years of soul searching, reading the Bible, asking tough questions, and being a pest to my Christian friends, I became a Christian. This was based on truth searching, not because of family. I am the only member of my family, both immediate and extended who attends church regularly, and has become a Christian. So yes, I spend several years searching for the truth. And the truth is with God.

Yes, I really believe what I believe. But then, I have done a lot of searching in my 60 long years. I find it interesting, however, that you attribute so very much influence to fathers. Where I come from (or perhaps it is WHEN I come from; the hippie era), what your father believed was what you rebelled against. Or in my case, my mother. Mother was a Methodist Sunday school teacher for most of my life. In fact, she was MY Sunday school teacher in the Kindergarten and first grade classes. After that, I could relax a little. When it came time to go to catechism class, which was held by the minister, I got sufficiently frustrated at his stupid answers, or his "That's one of God's mysteries; we're not supposed to know that" that I told Mom I'd go through confirmation so as not to embarrass her, but she must not expect me to go to church after that. And after that, I got to read the Sunday paper before Daddy woke up!

Raised a Catholic. Now an Atheist. I believe it. Christianity is nice for the social aspect. In other words the culture aspect (weddings, etc). But, if you don't believe in god what's the point. I feel like I'm lying to myself to practice a religion.
My parents are no longer practicing. However, my mother believes in god. And, my father believes just in case it's true.

I think I can say that I believe what I believe... because I believe it, I believe :-P
I did actually have a chance to choose my path. I was raised secularly.

You can't know the truth unless you have sought it.
