Do you mostly hold the same religious beliefs as your parents?

[TDAS04]

This could be interesting.

If you have no religious beliefs, then you can vote yes if your parents are also atheist. 

[H. Ross Peron]

One of them since my dad is a Presbyterian while my mother is a Buddhist

[Zioneer]

Well, my dad is an ex-Mormon and an atheist (and anarchist for that matter), while my mom is a believing Mormon and Reaganesque conservative, while I'm a near-socialist and believing Mormon.

I'm a bit more liberal in my theology than they were, but it is isn't a vast difference.  Dad was raised a Congregationalist and Mom a Methodist.  There was religious material beyond simply the Bible available in the house and as a kid, we always went to church on Sunday, rain or shine.  Yet they didn't browbeat us with religion all the time, and saying grace at meal times was not a typical thing, tho we almost always ate together as a family.  Incidentally, I have a cousin out in Oklahoma who is quite the evangelical Methodist.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Not exactly.  My mom (who, if anyone, is the one responsible for raising me with Christian beliefs) is a self-proclaimed lapsed Catholic and my father, before he died, was an agnostic up until his heart surgery.  He was baptized Presbyterian but never really had a specific set of beliefs.

I'm sure I've spoken about this sometime before, but my family had me baptized in the UCC and we attended weekly services there when I was a baby, but mainly because of its short distance from home and the fact that my mom didn't care for the Catholic priest in our old town.  So, when my dad was alive, the three of us had each been baptized in a different sect.  What is ironic is that even if I were baptized Catholic like my mom had wanted, I probably would have ended up joining the UCC and getting re-baptized there simply because it's the church that's more in line with my beliefs.

My mum is Catholic. My dad was raised Presbyterian but has been agnostic since he was about 15. My two brothers were raised Catholic and are agnostic. My sister and I were also raised Catholic and are atheist.

[they don't love you like i love you]

My mom was raised Catholic but is now sort of a generic Christian who doesn't care about denominational differences and is willing to go to any church. My dad was raised Lutheran but is very lapsed and non-practicing and hardly ever goes to church at all. Voted option 3.

You can probably also see why I think "cultural Catholicism" is a really silly thing and kind of an alien concept.

[DC Al Fine]

I come from a mixed household.

Dad comes from a long line of conservative Calvinists. Mom comes from a liberal Protestant denomination (United Church of Canada). While my mother isn't a flaming liberal it certainly causes some conflicts in our household . I took after Dad obviously.

[Ebowed]

No (they are Christian, I'm not religious), and it is generally never discussed.

[ilikeverin]

Yes, though I go to church rather more than my parents do.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Basically, because I turned my mom from a Christian to an agnostic and my dad from an agnostic to an atheist.

Are you saying that you're so awful that they can't imagine that if God exists, he would give them a child like you?

[Mr. Illini]

Yes. Born and raised Catholic. Am a Catholic.

Nice burn.  Well done.  I'll take in stride.

Just in jest.  It was too good a straight line you provided to not use.

[Cranberry]

Mom and Dad are Catholics, as am I. We go to church though only Easter and Christmas; and else don't bother much what the church does and says...

[dead0man]

My parents go to church 3 times a week and have forever.  I never go to church.

Ah yes, the C&E's.  Taken collectively out of all the churches they nominally belong to, I suspect the C&E's would be the largest denomination in America.  Yet the C&E's and the regulars need each other.  Without the regulars, the C&E's would probably be unable to organize enough to build churches of their own to celebrate Christmas, Easter, baptisms, weddings, and funerals. Without the C&E's, the regulars would have to dig deeper into their own pockets to fund their church, tho they wouldn't need facilities quite as large so the financial strain wouldn't be quite as bad as it first appears.

[TJ in Oregon]

Yes. Both my parents are practicing Catholics as am I. We do not discuss it though. It's something we do but do not talk about.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'm much more religious than my parents.

[Хahar 🤔]

I practice the same religion as my parents and basically to the same extent as my parents. My personality isn't conducive to rebellion.

[Mordecai]

No, I'm much less religious/spiritual than my mother. My father was raised Catholic but has lapsed, I suspect he might be agnostic or even a closet atheist, but he never talks about it.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Agnostic, so no.

[Consciously Unconscious]

No, but they don't know that, and they're not going to know it until I finish college. 

[Hatman 🍁]

Sort of. We're all in the same denomination, the United Church of Canada. Except I'm atheist (I identify as a Christian Atheist). But I still go to church once in a while, and probably moreso than my dad. My mom still goes every week.
