What religion you were raised with?

[AsiaCel]

I was raised an protestant. Lutheran for my young years and eventually pentecostalism later.

I believed Jesus was a holy man (God) and that he resurrected.

A merciful god along with fun stories (the typical bible ones) was good for my wellbeing. It gave me a sense that God is merciful and forgiving, and that my deeds would surely lead me to hell or heaven.

I used to go to the church as well; I doubted the holiness of say, Jesus but do not doubt that the stories were true if not somewhat overblownn (Moses split the sea). It gave me a sense of community.

What brought me out was the fact that Christianity itself, concerned with a small area (middle east) of culture and people. Moreover, if you actually read the bible you'd see some of the stories are conflicting of what you've been told in the cartoon films made for kids.

Nowadays I'm agonistic but I do not deny the validity of religions, but acknowledge that religions are frequently used as a tool of selective interpretation and control.

[superpsycho]

None

 

[AutistSupremacist]

Seventh Day Adventists

 

[LeFrenchCel]

Atheism

 

[AtrociousCitizen]

At first, none. However, my mother did instill belief in God (Judaism) early on in my life, but she did not follow any of the principles of Judaism at the time.

Eventually her religious conviction did strengthen, as she had a crisis following the passing of my grandfather, and that led to her imposing religious rules that I despised upon me—thus, leading to some of my antitheist attitudes at the time, as I never bought that nonsense.

 

[Faust]

None.

I was baptized in the Orthodox Christianity since birth, but in puberty I became aware of its cons, as priests being corrupt and pro-government, the hypocrisy of defending tsarist Russia and the serfdom, inconsistencies of Christianity itself, contempt towards the modern ways of life etc.

Basically, I had discovered that it's just a societal structure with no optimal, absolute truth behind, besides the old traditions/larps. When I was a little boy, I was religious, but the fact that the church was sucking up bolsheviks *and* nazis in the 20th century kinda ruins the whole halo effect. Now it's a KGB-ruled structure and basically a part of the establishment (despite communist battling the faith and even organizing a stratocide for some extent, killing and imprisoning the priests and their families).

It was conflicting my world views and I felt deceived, so I left. Nowadays, long time after leaving the church, I still find more reasons to dislike it every day, would it be the words of a church officials against the free speech and my preferred way of life. Many things I like are blasphemous for them, yet many priests are rich and have no problem being a hypocrites telling me to "be humble and serve". There's much more religions in this world to believe into. I'm just not certain about the right one, cause I definitely believe of *something* existing in the higher planes or near us. But it's not some sand people's faith that have destroyed my people's original faith because of the political opportunism, for sure.

 

[The Void]

But now agnostic

 

[lnceI]

I was raised Roman Catholic

 

[hapakatt]

I was raised non-religious, even though one of my parents is religious.

I was raised as an Orthodox Christian, but then I saw the luxury and wealth of the Russian Orthodox Church, and I became an atheist at the age of 14.

 

[Anarcho Nihilist]

Я был крещён в православной вере при рождении, но в подростковом возрасте осознал её недостатки: коррумпированность и проправительственность священников, лицемерие в защите царской России и крепостного права, противоречивость самого христианства, презрение к современному образу жизни и т. д.

По сути, я обнаружил, что это всего лишь общественная структура, за которой не стоит никакой оптимальной, абсолютной истины, кроме старых традиций/обрядов. В детстве я был религиозен, но тот факт, что церковь в XX веке поддерживала большевиков *и* нацистов, как бы разрушает весь ореол таинственности. Теперь это структура, управляемая КГБ, и, по сути, часть истеблишмента (несмотря на то, что коммунисты боролись с верой и даже в какой-то степени организовали геноцид, убивая и сажая в тюрьмы священников и членов их семей).

Это противоречило моим взглядам на мир, и я чувствовал себя обманутым, поэтому ушёл. Сейчас, спустя долгое время после ухода из церкви, я с каждым днём нахожу всё больше причин испытывать к ней неприязнь, будь то высказывания церковных чиновников против свободы слова или моего предпочтительного образа жизни. Многое из того, что мне нравится, для них кощунственно, но при этом многие священники богаты и без зазрения совести лицемерно призывают меня «быть смиренным и служить». В этом мире существует гораздо больше религий, в которые можно верить. Я просто не уверен, что это правильный путь, потому что я определённо верю в *существование* чего-то на высших планах или рядом с нами. Но это точно не вера каких-то песчаных людей, которая разрушила изначальную веру моего народа из-за политического оппортунизма.

It's the same thing. Orthodox churches are too black, with the same golden domes and priests' clothes. I'm not even talking about the luxurious cars and so on. In addition, the Russian Orthodox Church is a part of the state that doesn't pay taxes and freely trades in churches in exchange for loyalty.

I mean, not in the reddit atheism sense, it's just kind of lost respect in my eyes when I was a kid. Every organized religion has this bs, honestly

 

[nico]

sunni-hanafi islam

 

[The Scarlet Prince]

Muslim—only recently (literally like a month ago) deciding to convert to Christianity (likely Roman Catholic).

That is to say, I don't harbor any resentment towards Islam as a religion itself. I think that the people are generally retarded though, but I just don't think Islam is the exact depiction of God—if he does indeed exist.

 

[Julius1]

Roman Catholicism

 

[PolarIce20]

Atheism, now roman Catholic.

I was raised as an atheist by both my parents and ZOG school education. But I'm theist, I believe in God but not in any specific relying.

[The_word_made_flesh]

I was raised agnostic and became Christian on my 40's

 

[AsiaCel]

Aren't you chinese ? I thought China was somewhat safe from christianity.

HKG. also, china allows Christianity but a patriotic version of it that says God blesses Chinese people.

It's ridiculous but it is what it is.

You guys should excommunicate corrupt clergymen like how Islamists practice takfir on the munafiq.

My father and his mother raised me as a catholic, but my mother taught me about protestant christianity.
Now I am only baptized in each protestant branch as a cope jfl

 

[Animecel2D]

Roman Catholicism

 

[Vector2800]

I was raised Sikh. I completely abandoned Sikhism when I was 17 and have been atheist ever since.

 

[MacheteRape]

Roman Catholic. Was never that into it but I liked the services and the food afterward.

 

[Solid State]

My parents were not religious. My mother was raised Catholic, but he never considered herself one, and my father's parents were nominally Methodist but they never went to church and he never adopted their religion.

I was never "baptized" or anything like that. When I was in junior high, my parents asked if I wanted to choose a religion or join a church if I wanted as they said it should be up to me what religion I wanted to follow, or not have a religion at all if that is what I wanted. They were very hands-off.

 

[SocietyFucker1492]

I was born and raised Catholic, but now I doubt religion as a whole. It seems like a control mechanism.

 

[Tempest]

I think my dad was in some kind of cult that REALLY likes little boys. Maybe it was a fever dream.
