Childhood Religion Vs. Now
Heyas, I was just kind of curious as to how many people here on the forums are still the same religion they grew up with. Please post with more detail (i.e. Conservative Jew as a child, Reform Jew today, Pentecostal child, Episcopelian today, Jew -> Christian, etc.)
I'll start. I was raised as a Pentecostal in the First Assembly of God church in Lake Elsinore, California. My family at one point became Jehovah's witness, but I was too young to remember much of that. We later became Non-Denominations (Elsinore Valley Friends Church as I recall) and at age 14 I became Agnostic. At age 23 I determined my understanding of the term was incorrect and re termed myself Atheist.

I have converted from christian to atheist somewhere between 12 and 16 I guess.. Back then I wasn't so interrested in philosophy/religion/etc so you could also say I was a non-theist in the meanwhile..

Raised as a Christian Scientist, became atheist/agnostic, then became Buddhist. I've stuck with my Buddhist practice for over half my life now, so I think this is it.

Please note that a question in the poll needs updated: the Baha'i Faith is also Abrahamic!

I started out as an Anglican and via Baptist Methodist and Congregational returned to Anglican.
I have always had a soft spot for Carmelite Catholics.

I am not the same religion as I was in my childhood nor was my childhood religion the religion I was raised in.
I was not raised in any religion and decided to follow Christianity until I was about 14/15. My parents are atheist and I am now atheist.

I was raised methodist Christian and became agnostic around the time I entered high school. I started to create my own beliefs only to find that much of what I believed could be found in Paganism and became a Pagan. I have recently added some elements of Zen Buddhism to my faith. And now I am an Eclectic-Buddha-Pagan.
