Brought up agnostic, am agnostic.

Edit: And how about all the New Age douchebags who follow like 18 different religions at a time (as long as Christianity isn't one of them)? Not that they actually follow them, they just cherry pick the most superficially attractive aspects of each and call themselves "Spiritual".

Dude, your question in the topic title and your question in your poll are contradictory. I read the question and chose yay without reading the poll question...assuming they were the same or at least similar.

I am most definitely unfaithful. :beer:

Was raised Hindu, now can't tolerate religion. Hence, for every religious thread, I will post:



LOL RELIGION

I dont know. Never was "brought" up a religion. We totally ignored it, but we werent ATHEIST per say. I would say agnostic. However, now I would say I am atheist.

Brought up as Christian... was really into it. Bible camps, even as an adult led sunday school to HS seniors with passion.

That was only 4-5 yrs ago. Now I'm an agnostic pluralist. Definitely not an atheist either because atheists are just as bad as theists in terms of being opinionated when there's inconclusive proof on BOTH sides.

It seems that they don't include non-denominational churches in the protestant category. I think that is a mistake - they are pretty much the same.

I was essentially raised nothing. Parents believed, but our side of the family didn't practice anything. My aunt and uncle are catholic and their children go to private catholic schools.

I decided I was atheist in high school.

I was born and raised a Christian. I still believe in God. I do not follow Christianity though.

I'd say I'm agnostic, as my parents are. I kind of want to be Christian, but it just seems to involve too much faith in the extraordinary.

I was raised Lutheran, but now I'm non-denominational. It's still considered Protestant, but I don't affiliate myself with any "organized" group of churches.

I wasn't brought up as anything and I'm still agnostic so I'd say yes I'm still the same "religion"

Was raised without religion. My dad didnt want us to be exposed to religion before we were able to decide things for ourselves. When I was old enough to decide. I decided having no relgion was fine.

So I voted "Yay" as I was raised without and I am still without.

As a child, my parents were non-practicing Catholics, so we never went to church.
That translated into me being an atheist in my early adult years.
However, I found my faith a few years ago, and have been a Lutheran ever since.
