If when you were a child you were brought up in any particular religious faith, are you still a follower of it?

Which religion, if any, were you brought up with as a child? Are you still practicing this religion now?

I was raised to be a Christian and still am one, as to a specific religion, I was always told we were Baptists, though we don't do anything that that sticks out.

Raised Catholic, chose to remain Catholic, proudly preach Catholicism to the best of my ability. Religion to me isn't something genetic; I embrace it cause I've found it to be true.

Was raised Baptist. Not sure if that's what I would still call myself. I still do pray and believe in God.

I wasn't "brought up" to practice any kind of religion. My parents weren't bible thumpers. I guess my family is Baptist because we went to a Baptist church....but I don't follow any kind of religion now.

I was raised a Catholic and left the church eventually. Never found another one. But I do cling to a lot of the teachings, and it's possible that I may return to it one day despite a few major issues I have with it.

I was raised as a Southern Baptist and about the age of 12 was Baptised in the St. Louis Park Baptist church.
By the time of my mid teens I saw the illogic and hypocrisy of that religion and became an Atheist, later Agnostic.
I loosely follow Eastern Philosophy and have a spiritual master, Meher Baba. I accept reincarnation, karma and sanskaras as more logical than heaven & hell but I am not a Hindu or Buddhist and don't actually follow any religion.
My spiritual beliefs are very ecclectic & personal - as seen in my prayer table.

I was raised Protestant, but have since become "Born Again" I guess you could say. I don't follow any religions or attend church, but I believe in God, read the Bible and follow along with a few online "churches" that I feel are on target.
