I'm Christian.

But Hindus and Buddhists can be very far from atheism, depending on the type.

And since there's probably more Christians than anything else here, it might help to divide it between Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Mormon, and other.

The way I look at it write ins are always an option no matter what.
Not everyone here will be one of those four, but it is an interesting question
nonetheless.

I'm glad we live in a world where these are the only 4 options for religious beliefs one can have.

A fundamentalist believes that the Bible is the perfect, inerrant and literally true Word of God.

Do you believe that everything that happened in the Bible literally happened?

Yes.

The Bible tells us when something is meant to be taken as allegory.

Tridentine! That's interesting! Out of curiosity, how did your family end up going to Tridentine Mass: were your grandparents Vatican II resistance type or did your family start going to Latin Mass once it was regularized last decade (or whenever that occurred in your diocese)?

I am curious, if it isn't too personal, and if you haven't done so on this forum yet about your personal religious experience. How you became a Christian. For example, did it happen over time or did you have some kind of experience that converted you. Not important if it too personal, but people's stories interest me.

I suppose it happened over time. I have thought of myself as a Christian for a long time. I have gradually grown more devout over the years.

I'm still in the process of growing in my faith. There are still changes I need to make in my life. I strive to serve and please God, and I need to try harder in my efforts to do that.

Out of curiosity, how do you interpret John 10:16, the whole "I have other sheep not of this fold" verse? Obviously my church (I am LDS) interprets it to partially mean the people described in the Book of Mormon, but of course for churches and people who don't believe in the Book of Mormon, that's a non-starter argument. So what's your view on that verse?

My grandmother was a deep daily mass catholic for her whole life, she had 4 siblings who went into either priesthood or became a nun. She always went to Tridentine Mass. My grandfather, my aunt a Sister of St. Joseph and her we're all resistance types and didn't like the churches progressive swing. So that's how my dad was raised and how I'm being raised and how I'all raise my kids

It's referring to the sheep outside of Israel, or Gentiles.
