What religion are you?
Asatru
and were you born into the religion you currently belong to?
I have discovered, as I've answered things like this during my life, that I am something of an anomaly. If one must describe the path I on which I was born, it would be nothing more (or less) than the path of Discovery. Religion was not an issue in my childhood home - it was a clearly understood fact that faith was a personal issue... that I would be supported no matter where my path might lead. I was encouraged to explore the religion of my parents (Wicca) but also the religions of other family members and friends (which amounted to a wide variety of Christian and Pagan paths) before I found my way.
Nothing every rang completely true in my heart until I stumbled across Asatru - and so, I suppose, I do follow the religion I was born to... I just didn't realize it for many years.

When I was a child I asked my father what religion I was, he told me I was a bush baptist.
The country I come from has much native bush, and I think I believed that this actually was a "faith". I proudly told people that was what I was.
What am I now.
I have no religion as such.
I am with the wind, I am with the sea, I am with you, we are all one in spirit and light, we connect in unconsciousness in the level of mind, I hear your pain and fear, my truth is in the now, I feel the God within, I see value in some writings, scripture, whether from the east or the west. I cannot be held to one thing, but am from that.
I cannot be held to one mind, but understand that. I am from the light, and to the light I shall go. I dwell in love and light, and am in love with all beings. My faith is true, I live my truth, I have no doctrine other than love.

I changed my faith when I was 15, because the Lutheran Church only did teach about hate.
Was called by the Lord at the tender age of 15, after hearing the Mormon Tabernacle choir sing Handel as Messiah Hallelujah.
Wrote a letter To The Mormon Church Salt Lake City Utah
Meet the missionaries and they taught me the true revealed gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
Was Baptized at the age of 18, and has been active since

i am a wiccan pagan. i converted within the past year. it feels right. i was born a lutheren or how ever you spell it. lets just go with i was christian. i was baptized at one. i always hated christianity. nothing against the people. just the beliefs. i almost became atheist because my friends story was the same, so we started looking for a religion. one day she showed me some stuff about pagan. then we decided on wicca just because it felt right.

I'm Asatru.
I was born Asatru. My parents were Christians, because they converted to Christianity.
I converted to Christianity at a very young age, and then reverted to Asatru when my eyes were opened.
As a literal descendant of the Gods, themselves, I was born as their man.
I betrayed them for a while by converting to Christianity, but they called me back to them, and accepted me back into the family. They accepted me back into their fold because in my soul, I never left them. I only thought I did.
EDIT:
kerriwyn13 is certainly right about one thing... we're all born Pagan. The Abrahamic faiths (being newage religions) are unnatural, and thus, one cannot be born into them. This is why one must -CONVERT- into them.
