Catholic - Was raised Catholic and attended a Catholic school where we went to church twice a week. Probably been less than 20 times since I graduated after 8th grade though.

Mormon - was a member for a little while, guess I'm "inactive" now because I really can't reconcile my morals with them

Assemblies of God - looked into the denomination for a while, didn't like it

A "Non-Denominational" black church - one of the scariest experiences of my life to be honest, not even being racist. I was dating a half black girl who attended this church, she wanted me to come to a service with her and her family one night when they were having the service at midnight (no clue why) so as we're driving there the streets started getting really scary and ghetto and it just got worse the closer we got, saw drug deals occurring and everything, then when we got to the church they had extremely loud music blasting in the tiny room from giant speakers in the sides of the church, and the preacher got really into his sermon and went on for 3 hours. So at 2 AM I get in my car with this girl and drive out of the ghetto back to her house. I never went back, my girlfriend was a hypocritical "Christian" anyway and probably went twice a year, but that night was really scary.

Jewish, obviously.
I was also present in a Russian Orthodox Church and in a Catholic Church in NYC when... something was happening, which I guess are religious services.

I've been to Catholic, Southern Baptist, Methodist, Unitarian, and Episcopal services, with Catholic and Southern Baptist services being the only ones I've frequented more than once or twice.

Catholic Mass (boring as hell)
Lutheran Mass (boring as hell)
Baptist Service (awesome)

Yo, cool it with that wording!  We were the ORIGINAL Protestants. Smiley

Anyway:

Lutheran (my religion)
Catholic (both times as part of a wedding)
Non-Denominational Evangelical (with the girl I was dating at the time ... not a fan of hand waving and electric guitars in a frickin' church)
Jewish (for a friend's Bar Mitzfah and at a friend's dad's funeral)

I've never been to a Sunday morning service, but if you include other sorts of services, a couple. For example, my grandma's funeral was a full Catholic affair complete with communion. I went to a friend's recital for her Bat Mitzvah when we were 13. I went to my neighbors' (I think Episcopal, but it was a while ago, so I might be mis-remembering) church for a Christmas Eve service that was really just a short sermon, some choir music, and then a buffet/reception. When I was in India, I went to a Hindu shrine for a local holiday, and the priest gave me and my host family very decorative bindis, complete with rice and flower petals, and lead us in prayer - I don't speak Kumaoni or Hindi, though, so I'm not entirely sure what happened in detail. I have also been in a Sunni mosque for prayers, but obviously not being Muslim, I didn't/couldn't participate.

Catholic: Went to a Catholic school at one point, and my Dad has a gig at a small church in Oakland, so I go there every Christmas that doesn't land on a Sunday.

-Seventh-day Adventist (obviously, since I'm currently an SDA church member)
-Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (my uncle is a LCMS minister and my hometown is predominantly LCMS as well; if you include holiday services this category would be much larger)
-Roman Catholic (My high school baccalaureate service was held at a Catholic church)
-Baptist or Non-denominational Protestant (I can't remember exactly which the church was, but it was to see one of my cousins be baptized)

The Catholic Church does not regard it as a sin to go to a non-Catholic church, only if you take communion there.

Do they even offer communion at non-Catholic churches?

Perhaps I should go visit one day, I hear people get up and play guitar and other weird things. And the Priest is just some random guy too, like he doesn't have to have a doctorate in theology or go to school.

The Methodist church is more formal than most Protestants. Mine has a lot of hymns, especially ones by the Wesley brothers, monthly communion, and our pastors all have been to seminary. We've also allowed female and minority pastors for about two hundred years and for the former cite the fact that the first to tell others of the good news were women.


Side note: As for the beginnings of the Methodist Church, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman were all three Methodists. Francis Asbury, George Whitefield, Harry Hosier("Black Harry"), Thomas Coke, Richard Allen, and Howell Harris are some pretty interesting Methodist figures, as well.

Catholic, Methodist, and probably one other type of mainstream protestant.

I've probably been to Presbyterian, and I know I've been to non-denominational and Congregational services.

I've also ate at a buffet owned by a Pentecostal evangelist temple for Satanic lies. I would chew on rocks then eat there again, and it has nothing to do with the decent chicken legs I had.
