I wasn't raised as anything. My dad was a buddhist but he never indoctrinated me with it.
I came to my own conclusions as I became of age.

It's not really like I was "indoctrinated" in atheism, but when naturally asking how the universe came to exist, my parents gave me the "some people think some guy named God did it" line. It sounded pretty stupid to me.

was bought up christian but now am nothing. Nothing makes sense. Its like asking someone "who do you hate/racist against?" It makes sense to say nothing. there really is no atheist anymore then there are non-racists. just normal people being normal its just that there are less normal people then brainwashed.

I was raised Unitarian, then became atheist (not that different form Unitarian) and now I think my beliefs are most similar to Taoism and Transcendentalism.

Im curious as to what being 'deeply, deeply spiritual' means as opposed to just 'spiritual'. Does that mean you have stronger faith, or a more fundamentalist belief?

I was raised Christian. My parents made me go to church every Sunday up until I graduated High School. I abandoned Christianity sometime around 8th-9th grade, but still prayed out habit I guess until around senior year.
Nowadays I don't hold any religious views really. I believe in the Universe and its laws and power.
That said, I'm glad I went to church all those years. Youth group wound up being like a third family (my neighbors were my second), we were all really tight and had a blast on retreats. Jesus camp was also my first time smoking weed.

I was raised Christian, and when I started smoking weed at like fifteen, I became a hardcore atheist. After trying shrooms, I became buddhist. After trying DMT, I became EVERYTHING.

I was raised nothing and still am nothing, I hardly ever think about anything that has to do with any sides/types of religion.

My mom was/is christian, my dad is atheist....I was raised around my moms side of the family more than anything and they're all christian and I went to church every Sunday with them when I was younger.
I recall back to when I was as young as 4 years old and thinking religion didn't make sense . I had tons of questions that would always be answered in a religious/christian point of view and I was like ....Though I didn't have this exact concept when I was younger, I more or less was amazed at how brainwashed everyone was and how fake people seemed to act in church....
Church always creeped me out....Last time I set foot in a Church was about 7 years ago, and I still get weirded out. Don't plan on being in one ever again in my life.
Now, I don't really label my self to a certain set of beliefs/views.

Church has never creeped me out but it sure bored the hell out of me. I can only remember one time maybe back when I was in 5th grade('86?) my grandma wanted to go to some Easter service, so I was dragged along with my mom. The only other time I remember being in a church was for some weddings, which wasn't bad except the one cousin that had a Catholic wedding. Never, ever, in any circumstance go to a Catholic wedding. I swear it felt like 2 hours, maybe a bit less but those seats(pews?) suck ass on the ass. I would fake my own death before doing another one of those.

My parents believe in God, Heaven and things of that nature but they never instilled beliefs on us as children. They let us go our own way in regards to religion, I guess in a way letting us figure it out for ourselves. Never went to church, never did sunday school, none of that junk. I can proudly say 20 years later that I have figured out nothing and am quite alright with it
You know, looking back, the closest I ever got to religious education was sitting around with my Dad debating the mysteries of life, death, god, evil, etc. I guess I am pretty privileged to have parents who never forced religious beliefs on me.

Everyone on the Irish side of my family is Catholic. Those weddings suck ass.
