Mom's family is Buddhist. I like Buddhism but don't really apply any Buddhist teachings to my life. The most Buddhist thing I do is attend bon dances and those blessings for my dead grandfather's spirit. If you had japanese parents you'd know which blessings I mean.
Dad's mother is strongly Christian, but then again, Dad's mother escaped from the Communists that were going to punish them for their rich lifestyle. They changed their name to Lincoln (I cannot make this up) and sent my dad to sunday school. My dad was not impressed. His mother now has cancer and is a stronger believer than ever. My dad is still not impressed.
So yeah, you might say I have the same religion as my parents.

Sort of. My parents really only have weak beliefs and aren't religious, and I have nearly no beliefs, and call myself an atheist for simplicity's sake here. It is slightly different, but it is in the same logical vein.

Kinda sorta. I grew up Roman Catholic, got pissed off with everything. Was an atheist/agnostic for awhile before I gravitated towards Deist beliefs. I'm now just a Christian, not any distinct branch, just happy with what I believe.
So yeah, after quite a few years, I'm closeish.

Religion is a private matter.
To believe in God, we must feel him.
What religion to follow is according to our convictions.
Since I'm not my father or my mother, our convictions are not the same, then even we had the same religion, we will have different opinions on some issues...
Then NOBODY will have the same beliefs as his or her parents, whatever are the religions.

Yes. What does it matter? Does that somehow mean my religious beliefs are illigitimate? What an unscientific conclusion! But then, I wouldn't expect much scientific methodology from a non-believer. You probably hold to a theory of evolution, and reject the possibility of the existence of God. How closed-minded of you.

Now she is.
I was raised Southern Baptist, like my Mom. I found paganism, Mom followed a few years later. I came home to A-S Heathenism and she followed me a couple of years after that.
I don't know about my father, he split when I was four and died when I was 11 without ever seeing me again.

Nope. My Dad was raised Jehovah Witness, and my Mom once a free thinker is now again a born again christian. The first time she was more of a christian than she is this time. This second time she is more of a hypocrit.

No, actually my parents are both baptist. We were never about going to church and all of that. I tabbled in various religions for a long time, and finally stumbled upon wicca, and was happy with that.

No. My parents are both atheists, but I am a Christian. Even as a child I believed they were wrong.

No, they were Episcopalian. When I turned to Paganism they stood behind my decision and actually began to rethink their own belief.
