It's complicated.

Both parents were raised Catholic, but baptized me Lutheran (ELCA, I believe) due to their differences with the Catholic Church. However, none of us are very religious, and apart from holidays, we never really "observe" Christian practices. I've been to church a couple of times, usually for special occasions (for example, Christmas Eve mass and when my grandmother died). But never a single church more than once. I think I've probably been to more Catholic churches than others, but I really don't even know enough about each denomination to have recognized the different services I was seeing.

tl;dr de jure mainline Protestant, de facto no religion with various Christian influences

My mother was a devout Catholic who taught CCD, though she hasn't been very church going the last decade or so. I knew my father was baptised Methodist and skipped church outside Christmas and Easter, but only discovered when i was in college that he was agnostic/atheist. My wife was also raised Catholic in a very traditional rural household.

We're both UCC now, raising or sons there, and I was sworn in last month as Consistory President.

Tough to say. Was baptised a Catholic. Then religion fell by the wayside for ages. But my parents had concerns about public schools in my area so they got my two siblings to do Communion, Confession, etc. in order to get into the Catholic school system. I avoided this for a number of reasons, but still ocassionally attended church for a while. The priest tended to be a lot more progressive than your average priest, so they only attended his sermons, IIRC, until my sister started high school when it all fell by the wayside.

Would say Athiest was the closest personally, but you could make the case for both.
