Would you be religious if your family wasn't?

What would you do if for some reason your family became all athiests would you just follow suit or would you continue to love Jesus?

I'm not sure what I would do. I think that I would definitely still feel his love and Him calling out to me so I guess I would. What about you guys?

Probably not..i'd be lying if i said yes..

my parents are religious and I'm not. :P I was never a catholic and I would laugh on the inside at all the church people when I went.

On topic: My parents' religion doesn't affect me.

I don't think I would if my parents were atheist.

I think that no matter what religious status my family would be I would still be undecided. Even if they were all atheists.

But maybe, just maybe, I would feel less hesitant to identify myself as some type of atheist.

Although...my family is not religious...that is NOT the same as athiest - when you say not religious you mean to imply they do not worry about the subject and do not attend services of any kind NOT the extreme end that denys the extistence of a creator at all.

Either those who no longer go to church/temple/synagogue or agnostics who never made up their mind what they believe is what I think is the definition of NOT religious.

The bulk of my family falls into that camp now that my grand parents have passed. (strong Catholics and Presbyterian/Lutherans)

raising their four children in a non-religious family my parents have ended up with the following:

One daughter like them who gives no thought to religion and let her children make up their own mind.

One daughter who is a confirmed agnostic..her fave religious person was a priest who was so cute she could not dislike him.

One daughter who goes to a fundamentailst church and sends her children to Sunday School and Church camp.

Me the son who is Catholic and went to a Franciscan retreat and seriously considered entering the Priesthood.

You take responsibility for yourself in everything DO NOT try to blame it on your parents.

or would you continue to love Jesus?Triniboy95

My parents are not Christian, but I am, so yes.

I'm not religious even though my family is, so maybe if my family wasn't I would be?

I dunno.

My parents are atheist, and that is probably why I am as well.

Couldn't wager a guess. In life anything can happen. And there are religious people that grew up atheist...so it's not unknown to have happened.LJS9502_basic

My pastor was a hardcore, anti-religion atheist up until he was 25.

My parents aren't religious and neither am i. Fairly common where i'm from these days, i think America is one of the last western nations to be a religious country.Doctor-McNinja

My pastor was a hardcore, anti-religion atheist up until he was 25.

He walked into a pastor's office and challenged him, telling him that he could prove God didn't exist. The pastor accepted and every week they would meet and talk. After several months of this, he became a Christian and went to seminary.

I'm sure I wouldn't.

I bet that 60% of atheists will become religious when they get old.Quote me for the next 50-60 years. :D

Just goes to show that not everything is "relative" :lol:

I was a Buddhist when I was married to one and have dabbled/considered Islam and Zoroastrianism.

Every belief has their points and I believe that all religions have some of the truth while none have all the truth.

Yeah, I probably would be.

both my parents are roman catholic, whereas i'm not.

i follow my own beliefs, not someone else's

HELL no.

Well I am not and neither is my family. I would still not be religious if they choose to become though. horgen123
