Are you religious/spiritual? Do you go to church? Do you want your children to?

When I was born my parents were Catholic, so I was baptized into the Catholic church but pretty soon after that, they started going to a Baptist church. I consider myself to be pretty spiritual, and I like the ritual in Catholic/Episcopalian churches, so I attend sometimes, but I haven't attended regularly since I was in high school since there are a lot of things that many Christian churches and I don't agree on. I think I would like my kids to attend church, but probably not until their older and we can discuss what they are learning there. DH's parents are Buddhist which I find to be a very interesting philosophy as well.

I'm not religious or really spiritual. I have beliefs though. If that makes sense.

I was raised catholic, but i dont consider myself to be catholic. We are not religious or spiritual, and i cant remember the last time i went to church. I dont really care one way or another if my children are religious, if they choose to be then thats fine with me, and if not thats fine too

I wasn't raised in a certain religion. My mom was raised catholic and hated the stress and pressure it put on her and her family (not saying against the catholic religion, just my moms experience) so she wanted to let my sister and I have the freedom to choose. I am vaguely spiritual, like Marisa said, I believe things but I don't follow a particular school of thought.

We will let Jackson choose what he wants to believe, I will not force anything on him.

DH and I are both Christian. I wouldn't say we are overly religious but we have a relationship with God and are raising our children in hopes that they will too. We used to attend church every Sunday but we don't anymore because we don't believe the institutional church is what it should be.
