My mom is religious and my dad is an atheist

---

I was raised non-religious and then when I was 16 my mom became born again and a very hardcore Christian and that kind of created a divide for a bit. Shes still pretty religious but has come to terms that I'm not and I'm out of the house anyway. But still sometimes she'll guilt me by blaming herself for not being religious while raising me for me not being religious but I kinda just shrug it off.

Mom is agnostic, dad raised me secularly but has his own.... esoteric views he never really told me til my early 20s. Grandparents believed in God but weren't really part of any denomination. Only time we really went to church was as a family thing with my cousins/aunt/uncle who did go.

---

Nope

nope, and I'm glad.

my mom's Catholic, and my dad was baptized as Catholic, but he mostly did it so that he could go to a good school (my parents are from a developing country), but besides that, I think he had a negative view of religion (at least what the colonizers brought over).

anyway, because of all that, my dad wanted us to come to our own conclusions, even though my mom would have preferred we were Christian too.

Yes, the kind that thoroughly screwed me up.

---

Sort of.

I went to Catholic schools and was baptized, had my communion and confirmation, etc. (there was also a church next door to my primary school, so we regularly had mass there), but my parents weren't/aren't particularly religious and it basically didn't feature in my home life at all.

Im somewhat similar. Idk if my dad was baptised or anything but he was born in 1951 so it could be. But he was firmly against religion, although he did concede to my sister that there may be a God when her best friend died as a teenager.

My mom was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school and everything, but she never pushed it on us in the least. And if you knew her you wouldnt really think of her as a Catholic or anything. Though she is kind and generous. She always loved St. Francis of Assisi. In fact, she believes she was the first girl to have a male Saint-name (I forget what the actual term for it is but its some Catholic thing where as a child you choose a Saint. Back when she was little, it was not allowed for a person to choose a Saint that was not their gender, but she stubbornly insisted and they eventually relented).

raised catholic. not really into it anymore. but my parents are super catholic and it's annoying. they are actually worse than when I was a kid. probably cause they are getting older. some people have a life crisis as they get old and dig deeper into religion. I'm kinda the opposite I think.

Raised Baptist.

Didn't really go to church much once we moved further out of town. Mom wasn't much a fan of the churches around.

Growing up, couldn't play games with magic, couldn't read Harry Potter, etc.

Pokmon was okay though. Somehow my mom missed the train on Pokmon being demonic or whatever.

---

Raised in a Christian household but not like a really strong one or anything where going to church was a weekly occurrence.
---

Yes, my mom was the type of Christian that forced me to burn my Pokmon cards once the church said they were evil.

atheist father, christian mother

haha, nice

---

My dad went to Catholic school and my mom is a Lutheran. Both non-practicing, so I was raised in more of a culturally Christian household. As a teenager I became more actively religious on my own beyond just being told that Jesus is good and my loved ones go to Heaven when they die.

yeah i read that on average men are less religious than women

---

Yes. I was very religious up until the middle of college. Now Im more of an agnostic, but I find it hard to relate to anyone where religion is the primary focus of their life.
