Hellobee Boards

I identify as Christian and was a member of the evangelical church growing up. Now I belong with a non-denominational church with DH. I've pretty much had faith in Jesus my whole life. Like you, @AmeliaBedilia, there are some things I don't agree with - like women (in marriage, in the church, in leadership, etc) - that I feel are actual gray areas in the bible anyway. But to me there are a few fundamental beliefs that make someone a Christian, and a whole lot of gray theological areas.

I grew up Catholic, probably "fell away" a bit during my twenties while I was having too much fun, and am now a practicing Catholic again. It's tough since my husband didn't grow up with religion (though he was baptized in the church of England) and he's agnostic. So, all of the religious "training" falls to me.

atheist with a lower case a- meaning I don't go around thinking or talking about it too much, as long as no religion is infringing into laws or other institutions that affect me.

Atheist, raised very Southern Baptist, had a falling out with church as a teenager and then, as an adult, with religion. Not militant about it, and not fully comfortable with it. There's a big part of me that *wants* to believe, but I just don't.

Do you belong to a religious affiliation? Yes-Islam
How practicing are you? Very actively practicing. Conservative in my religious views however I am very liberal in my political standing as in I do not support Church & State.

I was raised Christian, my husband was raised Jewish. We are not currently affiliated with any congregation, but any future children will be raised Jewish (reform)

@MoonMoon: this sounds like me (and my husband) too.

I was raised Catholic, went to private school growing up. Then I met DH and I started going to his non denominational church, and now Christian. We're not as active in the church as I would like to be, but DH plays for our worship team, and we go to services every Sunday!

DH & I are both Christian. I was raised Baptist (but that specific church eventually became non denominational under the same leadership). We don't have a church that we belong to or regularly attend but we both make a point to connect with God on the daily though I'm certain we would benefit from finding a church home. I'd like LO to have a place that feels like family.

I am a Christian though I don't like to think of it as a religion because to me it is not, it's more of a relationship. I love Christ, I don't know where I would be without him. I believe that the bible is God's living word therefore I believe it entirely. Dh and I go to a non-denominational church and are definitely active

Episcopalian, but I only go when I am at home visiting family because I love my home church. I have yet to find another like it, so it hasn't been enough for me to go to another on a regular basis.

Raised evangelical Christian, now I attend a nondenominational church. I'd consider myself an actively practicing Christian - my relationship with God affects most of my daily life, and DH is a pastor.

I'm Christian, and so is my husband. We currently go to a baptist church, but I don't know if we would entirely class ourselves as belonging to any particular denomination. He was raised atheist and converted to christianity when he moved to my city in his late teens, I was raised christian, fell away from it as a teenager, and then came back of my own accord as an adult.

DH and I are active Christian (LDS). we were both raised LDS, and I went to an LDS run high school (HATED it, and almost gave up on church because of it)

these days we go to church every Sunday, DH is the head of the men's auxiliary in our area, so he leads their discussion time after the sermon meeting, while I get to hang out with the under 12s and teach them music!

I was raised Catholic but I was never an "attend Mass every weekend" worshipper. I do not agree with some of the Church's teachings but I find myself unable to join a different faith...maybe it's that Irish Catholic guilt. DH's mother is Catholic and his father is Jewish. He was raised Jewish but I go to church more than he goes to temple. LO is being raised Catholic.

My mom is Jewish. Dad is Christian. I was raised neither although celebrated major holidays of both religions. I identify most strongly as Jewish and am thinking of joining a synagogue this summer. I'm a little intimidated b/c I don't really know that much about my own religion, but I would like to learn more. I want my daughter to grow up with Judaism as a part of her life, and that is a challenge where we live unless we are active participants in the small Jewish community here.

Christened Anglican, previously attended a Presbyterian church in our old town but have yet to find a new church home in our current town. Feel like we probably should as I would really like our LO to be christened too.

Raised Christian...no specific denomination but Pentecostal was the strongest influence. Baptized at 14, had a falling out in high school and never really returned to it. I'm hesitant to say I'm atheist also though. I'm a humanist I guess?

@lovehoneybee: Ditto

DH and I both grew up as Christian and our faith continues to be the center of our relationship. We attend church every week, we serve, and really, we just desire for Jesus to be first and foremost in our lives.
