I think we've asked before, but for various reasons I became curious what our makeup was.

Do you consider yourself a specific religion? If so, what?

I'm...nothing? For lack of a better word? I was raised Catholic, have all my sacraments and whatnot.

I believe something started all of this but outside of that, I'm not convinced of anything. I've studied so many religions and feel like a square peg trying to squeeze into a circle.

I really believe in energy that you put out into the universe and things coming back to you...I try not to shove my "woo woo-ness" :::shakes hands in the air::: in other peoples' faces but if I ever say "my thoughts are with you" or something to that effect, I'm really sending as much positive energy as possible in your direction! I believe the mind is extremely powerful.

I was raised Lutheran and DH is Catholic. His family was pretty strict but DH is not at all. We don't go to church except for weddings, funerals and Christmas. We did baptize the boys catholic and will do the same with this baby. Not sure what I believe though.

I'm protestant, just finished my Masters to be ordained as a Presbyterian minister actually, and DH is studying to be an Anglican priest (1 year left)...even so with all that school and work and church, I'd by lying if I didn't say I don't have any questions about faith and religion.

We are Christians.. I was raised non-denominational, hubby was raised Baptist. We don't attend church, but we do teach the kids about religion and the bible on our own. When homeschooling we use a Christian curriculum as well.

no religion/agnostic here although technically I was baptized in the Catholic faith as an infant...that was probably the last time I was in a church.

My husband and I are both atheists. He was raised in the catholic church and I played in a bell choir at a Presbyterian church during school.

My upbringing was a weird mix of Christian/non-denomination/agnostic/athiest & DH was raised pretty strict Christian with a lot of involvement in the church. Together though we are Christian I guess but we don't really attend church or anything. We are not very religious people. I believe there is a God or some kind of higher power, & I do believe there is a heaven & a hell, but the whole organized religion thing is kind of a gray area for me.

I was baptized Epsicopalian, however, I do not attend church. DH and I have talked about it attending a church nearby that is Methodist - we have been to it the past 2 years for Christmas service and a few funerals. My mom now attends a Methodist church on occasion. DH was baptized Presbyterian. We aren't highly religious people and I, too, am unsure of what I truly believe in!

You don't have to ask, yes we know what causes it, and since you're asking and dont, google might be a nice place to start.

I grew up in a Christian, non-denominational home. My hubby grew up Methodist, but did not like some of the beliefs his Church was holding to. We now go to a non-denominational, Evangelical church. We go almost every Sunday and I teach at a small Christian school.

We are LDS, or Mormon. We are pretty active in the church, but I have not been as active as I would like to be lately because of all my issues.

I was raised Catholic. DH feels weird about organized religion so he never goes to church with us. I'm trying my best to raise the boys with a stronger faith than I have bc I've honestly always been jealous of people with a strong faith...it's like no matter how hard I want to believe, I'm too critical and questioning to believe as strongly as I would like. Both of the boys were baptized Catholic (DS1 was 2.5 years and DS2 was 2.5 months) and DS1 has had his first reconciliation and first communion. I'll either have this baby baptized in June or August (depending on when the baptisms are held and when baby is born).

We are Christian. The denomination name is 7 covenant believers or something like that. We are Christians who practice some of the Jewish customs like the feasts of the bible and Sabbath on Saturday.

I'm terrified of organized religion. Bad experiences.

My husband is celtic. It freaked me out too at first, until he shared it with me and i experienced it.
A lot of people think it is weird and both our families flip out about it , so to avoid conflict we keep it to ourselves for the most part.
