Do you have the same religious beliefs as you parents?

[Gilthador]

No. My parents were Christian, and I am an atheist.

[Salandriagado]

My parents are considerably more agnostic than I am.

[Greater Rhodes]

My mom is a practising Roman Catholic, and my dad considers himself to be an Anglican (his part of the family are Anglicans) although he was never really that big into church and hasn't been in years.

In my childhood (as I assume most people do) I was indoctrinated into the religion of my parents and peers, Roman Catholicism. Ironically it was when I went to my former Jesuit high school where I started to begin to question these views. Long story short, much to the chagrin of my mother and extended family, I am now an agnostic deist, and could care less about Christianity.

Do you have the same religious beliefs as you parents?

No.

[Dinner Theatre Actors]

Do you have the same religious beliefs as you parents?

No.

This.

[Hippostania]

My parents are atheists who are part of the evangelical lutheran church just to prevent my grandparents from going mad. I, on the other hand, am an antitheist.

[Risottia]

There are a thousand polls on here with people explaining what they believe but as far as I can tell, most people just follow the same religion as their parents.

Poll fail for the lack of the "Yes, I'm atheist as my parents" option. Not everyone's got theist parents, you know. (The presence of a "no, I'm atheist" option implies that you assume parents are theists).

Does it? I would have thought that if you and your parents are atheists then you have the same religious beliefs. i.e. none.

[Maraque]

My mother's an atheist and my dad was raised Jehovah's Witness but he seems to be rather apathetic about it now.

I'm an atheist.

[Central Slavia]

Raised Roman Catholic, i am atheist now

[Niene]

My father is a Zionist Jew, and my mother is a radical Christian.

I'm Muslim.

Diverse family (and that isn't a bad thing at all, don't get me wrong)

[Zeth Rekia]

Mother is Catholic. Father is Lutheran.

Zeno is Zeno.

Zeno believes in Misanthropic Zenoism. That's right, Zeno worships herself.

[Equimanthon]

Parents are both Atheists, I'm an Agnostic Atheist, so pretty much the same beliefs.

[Rambhutan]

No idea, we never talked about religion

[KludgeMUSH]

There are a thousand polls on here with people explaining what they believe but as far as I can tell, most people just follow the same religion as their parents.

Mine never discussed religion with me and showed no signs of any particular religious views. Their complete indifference to religion is mirrored by my own complete indifference to religion. Scientific evidence seems to suggest that a tendency towards religion may be genetic. Given that nobody in my family has ever showed any real signs of religious interest, I suspect I simply lack this trait.

[Shuggy555]

well i used to go to church with my mum so i gess she was a christian and im not sure about my dad atm i think hes a atheist
and I am a athiest myself but i was a christian when i was a little kid and couldn't make my own mind up yet.

[Angleter]

The same as one of them. I'm Catholic, my father's Catholic, but my mother's Anglican.

[Vellosia]

Yes, I do, although I am, perhaps, slighly less devout. But by and large, I'm the same.

[Georgizm]

Nah.

[Flameswroth]

I'd say I am, yeah, but less religious in general. It's very, very worth it to just go with the flow so that family events are happier. If we're going to go to church while I'm visiting, well then I'll go along and we'll all be happier for it. No reason to introduce stress when it isn't necessary.

What I've never understood is the conversion from your parents' faith to another. Losing faith entirely or partially I get, but consciously trading up one for another doesn't make sense to me when it can introduce tensions between family. I guess people can swing it if, when together, they just avoid religion entirely, but all the same I can't imagine ever choosing a different religion than my parents for any reason. Unless they are dead or something...

[Rumbria]

My mother believes in god, but not organised religion. She would, however, call herself Christian (Church of Scotland) if asked.

My father is an unreserved nihilist.

I, personally, am a sceptic, and ergo an agnostic holder of the tenant ei qui affirmat, non ei qui negat, incumbit probatio. I was raised Christian however.

[Augarundus]

Both my parents are Roman Catholic.

I'm an atheist.

[The Kangaroo Republic]

Not entirely. I used to be a christian like my parents, but I've taken a more atheist standpoint later on in my life. I've grown more apart from my parents since the last few years.

[Khytenna]

my dad is an Atheists my mum is a chatholic but not realy devout.

i, however, dont know or care whether there is a god or not, so the answer is no.

[Pinewald]

Dad's Jewish.
Mom's 'Christian'.

I am Catholic, and more Catholic than how religious they both are combined.

God be with you the reader, God be with me as well.
