What is your religion VS what is your ancestors religion?

Post Reply New Topic

I am non religious, but spiritual. My Mother is the same. My grandmother on my mothers side was raised Christian i believe. My Mothers side is a mix of Native American spiritual beliefs, and Christianity.

My dad is Non religious. My grandmother on his side is non religious, not sure if she was raised religious, but her mother was Catholic. so that side is a mix of non religious and Catholic. I have a cross necklace my Great grandmother owned. it's very large and has pretty stones set in it. I wouldn't wear it myself, but it's lovely to look at.

Both my mother and father have long Christian family histories. However, I suspect that originally my father's side of the family was Jewish at some point. Even at the times when I was not able to wholeheartedly believe Christianity, I've always viewed it as part of my cultural heritage.

My parents are Assemblies of God, and I am Lutheran, but taking a do-it-yourself approach.

Insanity runs through my family.
Wouldn't be surprised if some of them invented a few religions.

I am fervently anti-religious. On my father's side we have Christian going all the way back to methodist. On my mother's side - very devout baptists, I believe, or some such other fire and brimstone "no cards, no gambling, no dancing" sermonites (a family of ministers) whose ancestors sold corsets to the whores they encountered on the Oregon trail all the way from Maine.

I find it interesting that a fire and brimstone spitfire would make & sell corsets to whores. of course, it came with a free fire and brimstone lecture, but still.

I and my children are Roman Catholic. I was baptized at 26.
My mom is Baptist (non practicing) my father was Episcopalian.
As a child, I was not baptized in any Faith, being baptized Catholic was my choice. And I did my research, I checked out everything from LSD to Wicca.

LSD = LDS - I wanted to keep that error, as I thought it was funny.

Mainly Christian Protestant, possibly one Jewish line running from my dad's mother, but it's not been proven.

I'm Agnostic, for the record.

I'm a Christian.
My mother's side of the family is mainly Christian.
My father's side of the family is mainly Pagan.

My family was catholic from about 1600 until me.

I'm a liberal christian. I don't know what my parents believe in.

Conservative Christian, generic. Southern Baptists since the mid 1800's; Catholics since 600 AD; polytheistic before then since around 2350 BC; monotheistic since around 4000 BC. This refers to my Irish heritage on my mom's side. On my dad's side it is uncertain who his father was but it would mostly be Catholic French going back to 300 AD and possibly some Jewish but uncertain.

My dad was fundamental baptist.
My mom is liberal Christian, non practicing.
My dad's mom is baptist.
I think my dad's dad was atheist, I didn't know him, my dad met him once and said that he didn't believe in the bible.
My mom's mom is liberal Christian, non practicing.
My mom's dad was a non practicing Christian.
I really don't know what they believed beyond my grandparents, though I do know my dad's mom wasn't raised Christian(Her mother was Cherokee), some witness got my dad into church and he got his mom into it. I'd guess most of my ancestors were Protestants.

I am agnostic-atheist.
