Born/raise/still am (to some degree or another) Roman Catholic (been through pretty much all the sacraments except I think anointing and marraige). Not surprising that I got Buddisms as high on my list cause I'm Chinese and I guess my family is a blend of traditional Asian and Roman Catholic beliefs.
