I was raised in the church that was started by our Lord…Catholic!
 
Semper Fi:
Raised Roman Catholic and my fiancee was raised LDS. She’s going to be attending RCIA classes in the fall and will be accepted into the Church at Easter.

Tell your fiancee congratulations from a former LDS!
 
I wasn’t raised in or as any religion. God was not mentioned at all. There was precisely zero spiritual (name removed by moderator)ut of any sort from either of my parents. They didn’t teach us that there is a God of any particular sort, or that there is a God at all. But they didn’t teach us that there isn’t a God either. Such things were just not mentioned.

However, I was in an Anglican church from the ages of 11 to 12, basically to be in the choir. Having seen that church Christianity was exluded from my list of life options (I’m now Catholic!!) In all the time in that church, Sunday school, youth group etc, nobody ever told me what it means to be a Christian.

And from the age of 8 or 9 I was reading books on the occult, the “new age”, and all sorts of religions and philosophies, having involvement eventually in a number of things. However, the entirety of the impetus came from myself not from any leading or leanings of my parents or extended family.

At 18 I had a good protestant “born-again” experience and conversion. Since then I’ve had involvement with various pentecostal churches, “house” churches, Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, and not forgetting the Modern Jesus Army jesus.org.uk/ which I still miss sometimes.

The thing I have been most certain about in my spiritual walk is becoming a Christian. A close second to that is becoming Catholic.
 
Because my dad had The Catholic Religion literally beat into him, he decided to raise his family with no religion… ]Now, I am raising my children in a Protestant Pentecostal faith.
 
Raised Methodist but not real strong. Went through RCIA to marry my cafeteria Catholic wife but never really embraced the faith until a protestant friend of mine asked if I have ever read the catechism. Well I did and now I am a strong Catholic. đź‘Ť
 
I was raised Eastern Orthodox(OCA). Went through the Mysteries(baptism/chrismation/eucharist). I’ve been a member of the Church of Scientology for a years now, though I still attend my local OCA church.
 
Until I was 12 years old, I went to the Methodist Church, mostly, but sometimes Presbyterian. After that, my mom took me to a “church” that would be called “New Age” these days, and I lost my faith in Jesus as the one true God. As the song says, “how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed [again]”!
 
I was raised Baptist. I am seeking GOD’s will to where I should be though.
