I grew up in a home with a non-practicing Lutheran mother and a atheist father. At the age of about seven or so my mother decided we needed some religion and so we started attending the local Lutheran church. I loved it. I had the coolest pastor! He never saw the Bible as a document to be read literally, which was wonderful. We went to church for about five years or so until my mother decided we'd had enough religion and we slowly stopped going.
I kind of stopped believing in God at some point, though I honestly wonder if I ever believed in Him in the first place. It took a while, but I read something in a book that made me start thinking about Jesus and His place in my life. I came to realize how much I wanted Him in my life.
I went to church some with friends during high school and occasionally do now in college--I've attended all kinds of churches and enjoy doing so. I prefer to attend an Episcopalian church now that I'm older--it's the most liberal church in town and has a female vicar--but I have been seen at the Catholic church for the college service with some frequency, mostly to see friends and hear one of the deacons who gives amazing homilies.
I would say I am not so much religious now as I am spiritual. I have found a path that I like and I stick to it. It may not be the path other Christians would choose or agree with, but everyone is entitled to their own belief system, are they not?
