Kid-A	Christianity Atheism	I was not exposed to any sort of religion by my parents, unlike my siblings I was not baptised, the only exposure I got was from school and that was only in a small way, no actual belief entrenched on me
David Lucifer	Christianity	Raised in the United Church of Canada
Lukian The Wizard	Christianity	Atheist till I was baptised (8days old), thence Xian till Agnostic/Atheistic Virian enlightenment.
rhinoceros	Christianity Atheism	Exposure to Christian Orthodoxy (always a class at school). Early cautious hints at atheism at home (a child in a military dictatorship with "Christian values"). Atheist since childhood. Still following major religiocultural events.
Walter Watts	Christianity	no comment
ElvenSage	Christianity Pagan Atheism	When I was really young I had no religious influence. When I was around 8 years old I was exposed to Christianity by a neighborhood friend. I explored it, but never became one. As I grew into my pre-teens I started to study forms of Paganism and Atheis
MoEnzyme	Christianity	I was raised Unitarian Universalist
Ophis	Christianity	Parents are Catholics.
Blunderov	Christianity Atheism	My (single) mother was brought up a catholic but became an atheist. She felt she had to give her sons the opportunity 'to make up our own minds' and used to bribe us to go to church with ice cream. We soon decided that the ice cream wasn't worth the crap
sun tzu	Christianity Judaism Atheism	I spent my first six years in Israel. Although my family wasn't really religious, my parents insisted on reading from the Bible for the cultural heritage. Later we moved to France - and while my exposure to Christianity here was rather limited, I wouldn't
opsima	Christianity Atheism	I'll put down both Athiesm and Christianity, as I had a very non-religious upbringing. Sort of Christian by default, but very non practicing.
Kalkor	Christianity	no comment
the.bricoleur	Christianity	Exposed by cultural default -- no parents to blame for this one ;-)
prometheus	Christianity	Exposed to Catholic and Anglican meme sets. Resisted them at an early age. Asked too many questions and made Sunday school teachers uncomfortable.
Casey	Christianity	Catholic upbringing - baptized, had first communion, but not confirmed. I chose to stop attending church at age 14.
Flux	Christianity	English (Church of England) Primary school
DrSebby	Christianity	no comment
outlawpoet	Christianity	no comment
simul	private	no comment
goomba	Atheism	no comment
metahuman	Christianity Atheism Other	[Dad] unidentifying scientific rationalist. Deific existence is rationally irrelevant. [Mom] Private Roman Catholic. [Sis] Was interested in Buddhism. Probably apathetic. [Me] Was into Wicca, Christianity, and my own perception of "God." Now a MetaVirian.
Rhysenn	Christianity	I was raised protestant (congregational/presbyterian), i had to go to church every week until i was confirmed. My parents and the people I knew in church were all pretty liberal, and later i found out my parents were agnostic and pantheists, not really c
Galt	Christianity	no comment
Sat	private	no specific religion as a kid, except for the Christianity that saturates our culture.
Hermitess	Atheism	I was lucky. I grew up in the "godless USSR."
LenKen	Christianity	I was raised a Baptist since I was a little munchkin, was baptised in my early teens, but—in my late teens—became a devout agnostic atheist.
Matt Arnold	Christianity	no comment
Joe Dees	Christianity	no comment
		I have deep spiritual need/capacity and actually volunteered for baptism at 13. I cried over Jesus's wounds. But I realized later that my deep empathy for humanity didn't have to funnel through that particular myth, or any other.
michelle	Christianity	That was my comment above... d'oh... yes, I'm the weeper. Don't fear the weeper.
Alex Future Bokov	Christianity Atheism	My parents were vaguely Russian Orthodox Christian. My books were unequivocally atheist. You can guess who won.
DJ dAndroid	Christianity Atheism	My parents (& extended family) were decidedly non-religious. When I was pre-pubescent they let the neighbors take me to church with them etc. for awhile. They (& I) grew to resent all the "Rapture" brainwashing etc. Then that was the end of that.
Drakeo Vortex	private	no comment
chippedlogic	Christianity Judaism	i was exposed to very conservist judeo-christianity.
Pabreetzio	Christianity	Confirmed Catholic

letheomaniac	Christianity	Rebelled at age 10, informing my mother that I would rather stay home & do the dishes on a Sunday than go to church.
