My parents tried to force me to be either Buddhist or Catholic, but neither were successful.
(My mother was a Buddhist and my stepfather was a Catholic)
I was a christian growing up because I [i]told[/i] to be one, but around thirteen I became agnostic after developing my own person. Though, not even that; I feel more like an apatheist.

Something like that. I remember my faith starting to fade about middle school. (no wonder)
we used to go to church more when I was younger but then my parents decided it was too much of a hassle to go all the time. I never really cared though, because I was more focused on playing video games and watching TV and being dragged to church was just a pain in the ass
then around 13 or so I realized that having to follow all of these rules from a book written forever ago or else you were punished for eternity was a load of bullshit
my dad's an atheist now and my mom just stopped caring

yes, you just start to think "do I believe this because it's true, or do I believe this because I'm told to?"
I lost my faith in god after I realized there are a lot of assholes who are also christians who according to the bible would still go to heaven. It really disturbed me that a really good person that didn't believe would suffer eternally but a bad person who believed would probably go to heaven. After that I just came to the conclusion that god either didn't exist, or is a huge asshole.
Not an atheist, but an agnostic. I really enjoy learning about religions and beliefs, but don't swing either way.
I remember believing wholeheartedly when I was a kid, and it slowly began to fade, and now there's none of the early belief there.
no, religion isnt my thing and will never be, all the effort you have to put into it
My mum is fucking awesome, she waited until I was old enough to make my own choice.
Was raised in a christian way since my mother is (very) religious, but the christianity that was somewhere in me has faded a looooooong time ago.
Got it stuck down my throat too much, I was just tired of it. It never had much of a meaning to me anyway.
Yes, i was very religious, but in the 5th grade i understood that god doesnt exists, and if it does, most of us is fucked anyways.
I never enjoyed going to church, never thought that God was real.
I believed in a holy spirit, but wasn't religious.
Somewhat. I was an a fairly atheistic family that just never brought the idea up but for some reason still felt the need to send me to a methodist school (when questioned, "at least it's not as bad as catholic school"). I brought it for about a year or so but slowly lent towards "this is pretty stupid"
I watched lots of TV and movies and shit, so I'm guessing I wasn't very religious, as in sure I would pray to "God" or whatever after seeing it on The Simpsons, but now and years later, I'm pretty much an atheist.
My parents never took me to churches and stuff but I was amazed on the structural creation of these churches, it looked cool.
And I'm happy that I am, I don't have to care about religion at all.
At one point, I was a Christian, a practicing one at that, believed in God and all that jazz, Jesus was God's son and died for our sins, etc. I had a breakdown of sorts about going to Hell and suffering forever like that and just stopped believing in God because it's silly and he's probably an asshole.
I was raised in a nonreligious family, and I'm going to do the same for my child. If they want to practice something different then let them, but I'll never force them into a religion.
I've never believed in any religion, but i have always been and am still a member of the church for some reason.
I was born christian, belief bursted at age of nine. It was... [B]ILLUMINATING[/B]
I was, of sorts. My dad was never religious, my mom is small-time, so I wasn't anything close to a fundie, believing in anything of the nonsense in the Bible or anything like that. I just kind of accepted the belief that there was a god, never really giving any thought to it. I was 15 then, and around the same time, I started browsing the religious discussion threads on Facepunch, saw that Bible literalists were absolute idiots, and then I just realized that it all was bullshit.

I remember some asshole saying that the reason he was against premarital sex and wanted his future wife to be a virgin was because women were like chocolate, and why would he want to eat a chocolate that someone else had taken a bite off

what a fag
Born christian. My parents never really cared about religion by the time I was born for different reasons. That didn't influence me however, I chose to believe that somewhere up there somebody was watching over me and taking care of me, like a good child I was. Then one day it him me, why should I believe in someone ? Why should I place my life in somebody else's hands and beg for his mercy ?
I was Jewish for a few years.
My parents never even spoke to me about god or christianity or any religion at all.
I remember being a kid and thinking alot about god and such, eventually i just walked up to mom and asked her: mom, do you believe in god?
''No'' she said. So i never did either.
I guess she is the reason i dont believe in god, but she didnt force me into it.
No, I've been satanist/atheist since birth.
I lost my faith as I got older and started learning science.
I've always been atheist
My family tried out going to service when I was around nine or so, but it didn't work out
My parents raised me as a Christian, I decided to be an Atheist, they respect me still. My parents are cool people.
my parents are both agnostic and so am I
I have been to church though since my ex-best friend was a christian
her mom drove me crazy though. "no harry potter because magic comes from the devil"
srs.
