My religious views are similar to my parents, but how we live our lives are completely different. I am more radical in what I believe and I concentrate my life around Christianity. My parents are democrats and I'm a communist. Just kidding. I'm a socialist.

My parents are christians, I am agnostic but I believe that the Christian worldview is a good base outlook to grow from.

My parents are both democrats and I am a libertarian. We get along by not talking politics. I really pissed my Dad off when I suggested that the U.N. is a waste of money. Then again, in any given month, my parents might not talk to my grandpa because he is a party-line republican.

In both areas, my views usually are very antiestablishment, nontraditional.

I'm less religious than my parents and closest to libertarian politically... almost to the point of preferring anarchy to how our government is currently run. I think my parents are pretty left of center republicans... Hard to tell...

My parents attend church weekly (or at least try) but otherwise they are very non-religious in nature and just really laid back, accepting people. I'm similar to them, but I don't go to church.

My Mom is not political at all. In fact, I've never even heard her even talk about a political conversation.

My Dad is a die hard democrat. I lean far more to the right than him on fiscal issues, but similar to him on social.

So I guess I have to vote "mixed bag" on both counts :).

Some of them were shaped by my parents, but we disagree on a lot of things.

**EDIT**
My values are quite similar to my parents though.
